Izaugt, pēc manām domām, nenozīmē kaut kur nokļūt vai sasniegt konkrētu mērķi. Es to redzu kā virzību uz priekšu, kā pakāpeniskas izaugsmes ceļu, kā nepārtrauktu tiekšanos uz labāku "es". Un šis ceļojums nekad nebeidzas.
Izaugšanai ir nepieciešama gan pacietība, gan stingrība, turklāt vienādās daļās. Izaugt nozīmē nekad neatteikties no domas, ka vēl ir jāaug.
Spēku var gūt tad, ja tu ļauj sevi iepazīt un liec sevi sadzirdēt, ja tev ir unikāls stāsts, ko pastāstīt, ja tev ir savs, patstāvīgs viedoklis un balss. Un vēl labāk ir tad, ja tu vēlies sevi iepazīt un sadzirdēt citus. Tā mēs, manuprāt, izaugam.
protams, grāmata galīgi ārpus manas komforta zonas, jo nemēdzu lasīt par politiku, kā arī labprātāk lasu fikcijas grāmatas. bet kopumā uzskatu šo par lielisku stāstu par spēcīgu sievieti; mišelu obamu es ieraudzīju pavisam citā gaismā (pozitīvā nozīmē), jo līdz šim nebiju interesējusies viņas dzīves stāstā, un nebiju arī sekojusi līdzi asv politiskajai dzīvei tajā laikā.
mazliet nogurdināja daļas, kurās bija ļoti gari un plaši apraksti par politiskajām sistēmām un asv izglītību, jo neesmu amerikāne, līdz ar to bija grūti saprast, par ko iet runa.

She talks of her husband as almost a superhero and perfect husband. This is very sweet but also feels unrealistic. He went and made a big decision without weighing her input and it was just fine? There was just a lack of much emotion in many sections and that held those sections back from being relatable to readers who haven't been FLOTUS.
The photographs were a lovely and welcome touch, even though they were very concentrated.

Michelle's story is inspiring, empowering, and at times heartbreaking. A true testament to hard work, perseverance, and a desire to help people and how much of an impact one person can have.
