Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama was born on January 17, 1964. Her parents taught how to read at home, at the age of four she was able to read. While entering into school, the teachers decided to put her right into second grade, she skipped kindergarten and first grade because he was to advance on her learning compared to kids her age. She attended a high school for gifted  students. Here she took many advanced classes. When it was time to go to college, she chose to study at Princeton University to follow her brother’s steps. After some time, she moved to Harvard University. She got her law license, and began to work at a law firm in Chicago. While working, she met Barak Obama, her future husband. They married in 1992 and now they have two beautiful daughters.

After Michelle’s husband became the president of the United States, She has accomplished many goals as the first lady. She encourages many families to take action on their children’s health  and education. She also made a program to make people aware of the issues many Americans and people around the world are facing due to poverty.         

I chose Michelle Obama because she is a great woman whose parents weren’t rich but they tried to work hard so their kids could have a better education. Michelle Obama is also a great example for women and many African Americans. She worked hard, using her intelligence to get to be a lawyer. Now he is providing  great information about how we can help the nation’s children so they could have a long healthy life.
