Becoming
by Michelle Obama
Curious. Shocking. Intrigued.
Michelle is a powerful woman. Not in the control, connections or national way, but in the power of being confident, having a support group and knowing her worth. She is the kind of woman many - and rightfully so - look up to and admire.
I didn't know much about her before I picked up this book, but after finishing it, I am simply in awe. Her parents also astounded me. Her story and the way she told it, despite many struggles others - myself included - have never faced, did not ask for sympathy or pity. She told her story, described her doubts, her successes, and her difficulties with an appreciation. Her words are inspiring in a subtle way. A true testament to what devotion, sacrifice and sticking to your values can accomplish.
This book opened my eyes to many things - the everyday struggle of black people in America and other similar countries, the inequality toward women across the world, the difficulties of soldiers upon their return to their families, grief, loss, and more subtle things such as the lack of privacy and life shift once her husband was elected as president.
I cannot express everything this book made me feel, ponder, or question. This is truly an amazing work by a very talented and inspiring woman.
