I really love this cover of First Lady Michelle Obama with Gemma Busoni & Zaniya Lewis for Seventeen magazine. Both high schoolers won an essay contest(overcoming obstacles) and was lucky enough to pose for this fun cover shoot with FLOTUS! Can you believe this will be the last year for Michelle Obama being in the White House? Kind of bums me out but I think she did a great job while in office with her campaigns on healthy living. I always wanted to meet her too. I have the details on what she wore on the May 2016 cover inside…
FLOTUS Quotes:
“When it was time for me to apply to colleges there were some counselors who said, ‘Maybe, with Princeton, you’re reaching a little high,'” she recalls. “And I thought, ‘You really don’t think I can do it?’ But here’s what I did: I decided to ignore the doubters. I plunged ahead and I got in. I went on to Harvard Law School and every step of the way I used those doubting voices as motivation.”
“I always tell people, the question of what you want to be when you grow up is one that you will eternally be answering. I’m still asking myself that question! What am I going to do when I leave here? How do I want to impact the world? I’ve gotten used to the fact that I don’t have to know. I’m always going to be discovering new parts of myself, and you’ll find that you will be too.”
“The one thing I’ve been telling my daughters is that I don’t want them to choose a name,” she says. “I don’t want them to think, ‘Oh I should go to these top schools.’ We live in a country where there are thousands of amazing universities. So, the question is: What’s going to work for you?”
