Shine Bright In The Dark

Michelle Obama believes that although life's greatest challenges may not have simple solutions or quick answers, we can all develop and depend on a set of abilities that help us adapt to new situations and remain calm in the face of ambiguity. She took the city bus across Chicago every day to go to her hour-long high school commute, where she was repeatedly told by teachers that she would never be admitted to an Ivy League university like Princeton. As it turns out, they were totally wrong. The rest, as they say, is history. How did Michelle Obama absorb her family's values, cope with her sick father, overcome prejudice, get into Princeton, earn a law degree from Harvard, meet and marry Barack Obama, have two daughters, become First Lady of the United States, and be named Gallup's "Most Admired Woman in America" every year since 2018? This little book tells the story of an extraordinary lady who is changing the world in ways no one else can. Michelle Obama's goals as First Lady included being an inspiration in the realms of fashion, fitness, and healthy living, as well as setting a positive example for women.
