Michelle Obama [1] may no longer be America's First Lady, but she's still getting sh*t done. In addition to her family life, Michelle has continued to support children's education with her Reach Higher [2] and Better Make Room initiatives [3], and she and Barack are working hard to get the Obama Presidential Center up and running in Chicago. It's only February, but Michelle clearly isn't wasting any time this year.
She Delivered a Speech at the School Counselor of the Year Ceremony in Washington DC
Michelle surprised a Chicago school counselor when she presented her with the school counselor of the year award [4] in February. "To Kristen and every counselor and educator in this country: I hope you all know that you have far more influence on our children than people they don't even know in places far away," Michelle said.
