Our First Lady is absolutely inspirational. In the December edition of Glamour Magazine, Mrs. Obama shares some very good advice and talks about her work mentoring young women. This stuck out to me in particular:
Don’t wait to be “discovered” by a mentor:
“I was blessed throughout my entire career. I had people rooting for me. It started with my parents, but it extended to almost every teacher that I had. When I was a young lawyer, there were other women and men in the firm who took me under their wing. Look for those mentors, because sometimes mentors don’t find you--sometimes you seek them out. Oftentimes, they’re flattered and glad to lend a hand.”

My parents are my biggest fans. And I also have people who have helped me along the way. Seeing that Michelle Obama had a similar foundation and growth that led her to be a successful woman, makes me feel like I'm on the right path.
