Becoming by Michelle Obama

informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

I normally don’t reflect on having President’s Day off from work but I’m in the midst of grading tests and listening to @michelleobama’s amazing memoir. The more I listen, the more I hope to become half the woman she is as I get up there in age. I’m on the last chapter at the moment as I take a break from grading but if you haven’t read/ listened to this, I implore you to do so soon! There is so much insight into a world that I am unfamiliar with that I can’t help but think that we as a country need to applaud and praise our president’s wives/partners way more than is considered the norm. The age old saying “ If you want something done, get a woman to do it.” rings true in the case of our former First Lady. Roughly nineteen hours long, I have cherished every minute, thankful for her honesty and insight in a world millions of us aren’t always in touch with.
