First Lady, Michelle Obama
Formula for Success
Just as her fashion sense speaks to her unique style and ability to be a trendsetter, her knowledge, intelligence and compassion for others equally speaks to her desire to strive for excellence in all that she does.
She doesn’t follow paths, she creates them. With a foundation built on hard work, compassion and dreams, Mrs. Obama is reaping success. However, behind every success and achievement are tests of commitment, endurance and faith. |
