Michelle Obama On Education & Self-Belief | Penguin Talks

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Penguin Talks is a series of free creative events which gives young people the opportunity to hear directly from, and question, some of Penguin’s most influential authors.
In December 2018, former First Lady Michelle Obama addressed 250 students at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in North London about empowerment through education and the important role of self-belief in achieving your goals. Her 2009 visit to the school was a key inspiration for her focus on education. Mrs Obama was in conversation with alumni from the school to mark the publication of her memoir, Becoming.

I'm a 53 year old man in Mississippi in The United States of America. This whole conversation has been so nice to.hear. There is a very good reason or reasons for me to hear this. God bless you Ms. Michelle and the Rock of your household too.
Ms. FLOTUS 44. You may, understandably, doubt my sincerity when I say YOU are the most remarkable, inspiring, and highest respected woman in the world as I view it. Please excuse me as I pull the entire shoe store from my mouth. I obviously have many regrets and owe numerous people my deepest apologies. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, patience, and time to make their statements without being rudely interrupted. All humanitarian speakers deserve this simple respect. However, a woman who has worked as hard as you have. Who has committed so many years educating yourself....... dedicated years of service, guided by your heart, moral compass, and passion to impact lives with the sole intention to help them understand and reach their greatest human potential................... A woman such as this deserves our best..... respect, patience, and understanding. We are lucky to get to hear thoughts and ideas. The world is a much better place because of you. I love and miss your family being in the White House. Thank you!

This is so heartfelt :)
Amen!!!
This resonated with me so deeply. As a working class student who at a top university, I have a lived experience of exactly what Michelle said about impostor syndrome. It's reassuring and inspiring to see someone who has been through the challenges and overcame them ❤️
Spank MaMonkey Lol. Got em!
@Spank MaMonkey Hey spanky, it's been almost a year and she still doesn't care. How does that feel ?

I read your book. I can't begin to tell you how it impacted me but thank you. Australia xxxx
I wish I heard your inspirational speech, while I was growing up.
Rinzin Dolkar Agreed...... I can’t imagine the positive impact I could have made in my life had I traveled and had the Obama’s as role models 30+ years ago. Love and respect your neighbors and don’t allow yourself to be affected by the barriers and adversity that others place in your paths.
There is never a right time.
Please look around ,get a young child and be a mentor
I wish I never heard your name
Same here
Great speech! Full of experiences and sincerity👏👏👏❤️
I look forward to reading your book! I will be ordering it next week!
thank you I live in the UK and I am inspiered by your grace, Thank you for sending you peace joy and love
Love this speech! Michelle is so knowledgeable she inspires so many women from many dif backgrounds to be their best version of themselves!!
The teenager and influencing and inspiring and seeing as a role model is SO ACCURATE
Everyone got a DREAM, if you want to reach your goal, just work on it and you must have a self-confidence.
That alone is not enough
Exactly I am a leader not a follower that what I was taught give me a break
Desire, idea, patience, perseverance, persistence, constancy, tenacity, and objectives/goals are the inevitable ingredients of any successful beings.

This is a really nice discussion on education Ms. Michelle. You are loved by many. Thank the Almighty Lord of Earth.
Incredibly inspiring lady. Someone , just beautifully emphasising all the aspects of life..and the best part learning from each other .
' 'Who do you want to be ' and 'take care of your heart ' go hand in hand. Wow! Congratulations to your Mother, mothers around the world and the Men in their lives that instill such discipline and sense of being for good. Beautiful! Thank you very much.
I went to fashion industries and the great thing they did the partner with designers and fashion companies to visit all the 11/12 graders. This was how I found out about Parsons school of design a private college for the elite, my teacher told me don’t apply you have to be rich and I applied and was 1 of 2 blacks that attended. Don’t let no one put a limit on you. Dream Big
Such an intelligent inspiring woman
It’s a man. And he ain’t intelligent

Such an inspirational word from you Michelle Obama ! You have a very good heart ❤

I grew up with imposter syndrome and didn’t know what it was. Even when I graduated with honors, and became a therapist, and now I still feel that way. My mother told me I was nothing and would never be anything. I’m 74 now and know she was talking about herself 😢💔
You have to be a whole person to build a great relationship with anybody. Love doesn’t fix a broken person. -- lesson learned ;)
Wennie Cherry Respectfully disagree. Even the most damaged heart can be healed by love.
I love my #Forever First Lady Michelle Obama 💪🏿🙌🏿👏🏿🖤🖤🖤🖤💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😍😍😍😍
I respect you and Barak Obama!!^^♥
President Michael:It takes a village to raise a child..(An African proverb)You are a woman of dignity and wisdom❤
TY, For a while, I couldn't understand it!!!!!!!!!!
I am a not as bright British white woman. I have done ok but not exceptional. I am so moved at how Michelle struggled when it is clear she is exceptional.
Wow Michelle! Great moves, Keep it up. Proud of ya.
H3H3 😂👌🏼
Michelle,
You are an outstanding person, and I am very proud of you in every way. You. have helped me in ways that you can’t even imagine . I personally thank you for your response and assistance that you provided me with.

For.real.lo e.👑
Great presentation
Absolutely! Well before High School!
Most beautiful woman in the world
Gail Stephen Um..... equality is equality..... If you know what it’s like to be made to feel disadvantaged, you should have empathy for others equally. Just saying. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Education starts at home..thx Michelle Obama
as awhite persiom i may not understand what it like fully but your speach is so inspireing!
What would we expect in life without your advice you are such a blessing to the nation. I am so grateful that you touch so many lives in the world bless you and your family
Beautifully said. 💋💯
So many times we take on the roles of fixing others and although we can support them through the process we can’t fix others. We have to support one another as we are becoming whole.
Michelle embodies the "American Dream". They are "living" proof that dreams can come true. Even the biggest dreams. When leaders listen, dreams have fuel. And that fuel has the ability to wake you up standing still. That's power from within. A heart. ❣
Thank you all for your service xxxxxx thank you
This is lovely and inspiring! Michelle Obama is loved. She is such a bright light and she radiates grace, grit and gravitas. She is honest, trustworthy, soulful, maternal and very warm. I want to meet her and show show her my unseen brain scans since I came out of my coma at Level 1 to help America with brain science. I was at WH with Chuck Close for the Obama’s Art and Humanity. I have in many ways made arts and humanity for Biden and Harris. I admire Michelle and hope to have the opportunity to meet her in person.
'Pay it forward' is the message
Wow Michael I'm so proud to be here watching, thanks you to inspired me.
Great! Proud of you!
I got you first lady Michael Obama good talks.
Very good advice smart.
I do want education there is no place, there's nobody in my life right now.
I was doing parenting full time not my ex-husband.
I'm inspired

Ms. Michelle Obama I'm proud of you as a young man of 53 years old. It was happy for me to know you and Mr. President Obama were in the Whitehouse. I love you much so. You and your hubby should let the makers of Barbie and Ken dolls make dolls of you guys.

MRS OBAMA GET DOWN
So inspiring woman!
Success is a long process. In order to get to that trajectory, one needs to take a lot of efforts. You need to recognise when your train passes by
Desire, idea, patience, perseverance, persistence, constancy, tenacity, objectives/goals and hard work are the inevitable ingredients of any successful story.
