Becoming

Michelle is most known for becoming the First Lady of the United States of America. Raised in a lower-income neighborhood in Chicago’s South Side, Michelle is clever and hardworking; what sets her apart from other students are the parents, teachers, and relatives who invest time and passion into making sure she gets the best education and has all the opportunities available to her.

A competitive student who wants to prove she’s good enough, Michelle works hard to get into Princeton, go to law school, and then get a job at a prestigious law firm in Chicago. Stubborn and focused, Michelle believes she cannot veer off the path toward achieving her goals, though once she achieves them, she is surprised to find how empty her life feels. Once Michelle meets Barack Obama and is introduced to community organization, Michelle finds her calling and devotes her life to helping people and communities realize their full potential, while also trying to be a supportive wife and devoted mother of two daughters.

Michelle’s life is thrown for a loop when Barack enters politics, eventually becoming President of the United States. Though Michelle receives many criticisms and personal attacks, she stays committed to keeping the public eye on important issues.
