    I just enrolled to go back to college TODAY to pursue my true dream of being an environmental scientist! Thank you to strong women like Michelle Obama for inspiration and being an amazing role model!
  • @kyle0091000
    I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's wife copy this for her final speech.
  • This First Lady, and her husband, have been the greatest source of inspiration to me for these past eight years. I am proud, defiantly and definitively so. They deserve all the thanks in the world.
  • Thank you Mrs. Obama for always being bright, intelligent, articulate and brave, all the while doing so with grace and humility. I will miss you.
  • @ERGSEG
    Beautiful, classy, accomplished, and intelligent. You were a first lady every decent American would be proud of, Mrs. Obama.

    "And I hope I've made you proud," were her last words. Michelle Obama has been phenomenal motivator, leader, encourager, and role model, not just for young people, but for anyone who has taken the time to listen to her and take her message to heart. As she prepares to leave the White House, I realize how spoiled I have become at having her as First Lady. We have had gracious First Ladies before, but never one to match Michelle Obama. She has been "the whole package" and I can't imagine ever in my lifetime seeing her equal again. I will grieve to see her leave the White House. I hope she will remain active in public life. This country needs Michelle Obama. She is a national treasure.

    I'm from England and I'm actually crying 😂😭 even though I don't live in America, she will always be the most inspiring, beautiful woman I've ever known

    I always come back here when I'm feeling blue and need some inspiration. 22:46 I miss the good old days when there were true leaders in the White House.
  • @TheDannie17
    She made me proud to be an American and I'm not even an American xD
  • @HeHeeHeeheHe
    Don't trip y'all, we'll be hearing the same exact speech in 4 years.

    I owe a great deal to the Obamas. I wouldn't be able to go to college without President Obama raising the maximum you can get with the federal pell grant. Michelle has always inspired me to peruse my dreams
