Hi, I hadn't seen Michell's speech at the University of California, but I know she is a good speaker. I am very inspired by her remarkable attirement, and the way she keeps her family as priorty. I have dreamed of being a lawyer, and I am getting strenght from the Obama's that I can be anything, I want to be.
Thank you Mrs. Obama for a very inspiring speech to our young students at Washington Mathematics Science Technology Public Charter High School in Washington, DC. Your message was excellent and I am sure that it will be remembered by all of us in attendance today. I love what you do and have done to show all people what it means to treat everyone with dignity and respect. Bless you and your family always,
