Michelle Obama is so inspiring and her story really resonated with me. Throughout her whole book she really seemed to speak from the heart and speak true. Based in what she said in the epilogue, she'd be glad to know that people from all walks of life can see parts of themselves in her story. E.g., I can identify with her drive as a child to do well in school and be perfect, her struggle as a woman of color in a corporate law firm, and her struggle just trying to maintain her work life while trying to have the best life for her family. She's just a graceful, grateful person who grew up in a normal working class home. Hopefully, we'll get soon get to see more good humans from real households in the top positions of power again.

Like many women of color, she had to deal with the extra scrutiny of being the first person like her in her position. She put up with some stuff that I probably wouldn't have been able to, and she made a lot of sacrifices in order to share her husband with the whole country. But she and her husband really made a difference and conducted themselves with dignity--hopefully we can get back to that place.
