Michelle Obama (michelleobama / 10.05.2019): With #MothersDay just a couple days away, I find myself thinking a lot about the way my mother raised me. And even though our family was crammed into a tiny apartment, one of the greatest gifts she gave me was the freedom to explore and develop into my own person. For instance, even though we didnt have much money, she and my dad cobbled enough money together to send me on a high-school trip to Paris, which opened up the world to me in so many ways. And now that Im raising kids of my own, I wanted to pass that lesson on to my own girls. Ive been so fortunate to be able to travel with Sasha and Malia all across the country and around the worldexperiences my mother never would have dreamed of back when I was their age. But though the settings may be different, the message is the same, and its one I hope mothers everywhere pass on to their daughtersin seeking out new perspectives and reaching outside of our comfort zones, we can discover more about ourselves."", Image: 433137670, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: Profimedia, Face To Face A
