Michelle Obama was no ordinary first lady. While her husband was busy running the country, Michelle had plans of her own. Not only were she and her husband the first African-Americans to hold the coveted positions, but she’s a Harvard grad who is passionate about equal opportunities.
These days, Michelle has gone on to be an inspiration to women the world over, encouraging children from all walks of life to pursue education with all their might. When Barack enquired about a restaurant owner whom Michelle knew from her teenage years, he jokingly said, “If you had married him, you’d now be the owner of this lovely restaurant.” Michelle responded, “No. If I had married him, he would now be the President.”
