A first lady that has taken these past eight years, and graced them with respect and civility; embellishing a country that is now greatly divided, with optimism, and an inspiring message of empowerment that generated a significant movement towards the positive progression of our world, and future to come.

In speaking about Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett says,

“She has this extraordinary ability to meet people where they are, and I think that’s hard to do from the lofty perch of the White House. But she has never climbed up on the perch!”

Among other things, this remarkable woman has set the bar very high for the First Lady to come, with her ability to show that the Obama’s role as such high members of society does not separate them from the bulk of the population, demonstrating everyone’s roles as equals, beyond any kind of monetary status.

Soon to be the former first African American First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama shows that a first lady is capable of maintaining the role of a mother, whilst maintaining this overwhelmingly strong angelic-presence as an advocate for constructive change, and right-hand guidance for her husband. Responsible for four extremely significant movements during her role as First Lady; Let’s Move, Joining Forces, the Reach Higher initiative, and Let Girls Learn, Michelle Obama has spoken to the greatest number of demographics and psychographics, politically and socially shaping a movement with a goal to better society.

It is because of her outstanding strengths and qualities that Michelle Obama will be seen in history as a remarkable, much-needed light, and defining lady. While illustrating the strength of Eleanor Roosevelt in a much more progression age, Michelle Obama signifies an inspiring figure that has become a role model, a “mother in chief,” ; portraying a beautiful rhythm of kindness, beauty, and intelligence.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
