LESSONS FROM FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA’S SPEECH 2016 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL

• Told the daughters to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith. - • The hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country. • When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. The motto is, when they go low, we go high. • With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are the most important role-model. • Let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls but the children across this country. • Every child who needs a champion: kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs. Kids who wonder how they will ever afford college. Kids whose parents don't speak a word of English, but dream of a better life; who look to us to dream of what they can be. • And when Hillary Clinton DID NOT WIN the nomination eight years ago, she DID NOT GET ANGRY OR DISILLUSIONED. Hillary DID NOT PACK UP AND GO HOME BECAUSE ... HILLARY KNOWS THAT THIS IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN HER OWN DISAPPOINTMENT. SHE proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe. • There were moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being [torn] apart for how she looked, or how she talked, or even how she laughed. • But here's the thing: Hillary NEVER BUCKLES UNDER PRESSURE. She NEVER TAKES THE EASY WAY OUT. And Hillary Clinton HAS NEVER QUIT ON ANYTHING IN HER LIFE. She is someone with the proven STRENGTH TO PERSEVERE. • She is looking for someone whose life's work shows our children that WE DON'T CHASE FAME AND FORTUNE FOR OURSELVES; WE FIGHT TO GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE TO SUCCEED. And WE GIVE BACK EVEN WHEN WE ARE STRUGGLING OURSELVES BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WORSE OFF. THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, •
