�When I was a girl, I had parents that loved and believed in me, but
those doubts still worked their way into my head. and I was always
worried about something. Does my hair look right? Am I too·tall? Do
I raise my hand too much in class? So when folks said a girl like me
shouldn't aspire to go to the very best colleges in the country I
thought 'Maybe they're right.'
But eventually I learned that each of those doubts were like a little
test ... that I could either shrink away from or rise up to meet and I
decided to rise.
Yes, I decided to rewrite those tired old scripts that define too
many of us. I decided that I wasn't bossy, I was confident and
strong. I wasn't loud, I was a young woman with something
important to say and when I looked in the mirror I say a tall,
beautiful and smart black girl . ... and that's what I want for you, I

want you to live life on your own terms .... but anyone who's
achieved anything in life knows that challenges and failures are
necessary components of success. They know that when things get
hard, that's not always a sign that you're doing something wrong,
that's often a sign that you're doing something right. Those hard
times are what shape you into the person you're meant to be.
-Michelle Obama
