Michelle Obama's Let Girls Learn

Michelle Obama believes, “There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made”, which is exactly what she has devoted her 8 years as first lady towards. Michelle Obama is notable for being the wife of U.S President Barack Obama and does not hesitate to say that first and foremost she is the mother of Sasha and Malia.

Obama was forever changed with her father’s battle with multiple sclerosis. Although she found it difficult to excel in environments that are not familiar to her, she learned to make certain sacrifices as a result

Recently this year, Obama joined her husband and U.S. President, Barack Obama to start the organization Let Girls Learn. It is a U.S. government wide enterprise that’ll support girls around the world in getting an education, which is something that she cares profoundly about.

Although many of the past U.S first ladies have done remarkable things, Obama sticks out of most of them because she connects to the youth like no other first lady has. Obama’s efforts to raise the bar for education and health have been extraordinary. She has focused on matters like helping military families, supporting girls in receiving an education, and encouraging the youth to live healthier, nutritious lifestyles.
