"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative or false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am. " --Michelle Obama The great-great-granddaughter of a slave, Michelle had inherited a certain strength and a faith that the best was always yet to come. It was a strength and faith that would comfort her in hard times, help her through the challenges of attending both Princeton and Harvard, and eventually guide her to becoming a truly memorable--some might say magical--First Lady.
