Growing up, I've had wonderful role models in my mother and older sisters and in close friends that I've grown up with. I've also had heroes like FloJo who, with her beauty and talent, made me want to be just like her as I pursued track in school. I've also had heroes in my Graduate Dean of students, a female scientist with a family and others. But in this election, I've added another hero/role model to my list. When I first saw Michelle Obama speak last summer, I felt a strong sense of inspiration to do better. She made me feel like nothing is better than devoting your life to the service of others and I was truly inspired by her. Last night she did it again! Unfortunately, the online press is not acknowledging her greatness and so I'm compelled to do so here. Please take a minute to watch her speech again and tell me how you were affected too.
Take care,
Chi(:
