Most of Obama's time as president, I viewed Michelle Obama as just the First Lady. But she's so much more than that. Growing up her family didn't have much but her parents raised her to be responsible and self-sufficient. Her grades in high school were good enough for her to accepted into Princeton. There she studied sociology and ran a literacy programs for kids. She graduated in 1985 with high honors. After getting accepted to Harvard Law, she studied hard and continued to succeed. After meeting Barack, they married a few years later for love and financial stability. She was nervous about Barack running for presidency but in the end they made history and influenced a large audience. ( )
