Final Words

It has certainly always been a central theme for First Lady Michelle Obama, who passed on these words of wisdom last week.

"So that's my final message to young people as First Lady. It is simple. I want our young people to know that they matter, that they belong. So don't be afraid — you hear me, young people? Don't be afraid. Be focused. Be determined. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Empower yourselves with a good education, then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of your boundless promise. Lead by example with hope, never fear. And know that I will be with you, rooting for you and working to support you for the rest of my life."

We look forward to seeing what other educational endeavors Michelle Obama will support now that she her time in the White House has concluded.
