Her counselor once told her that she’s not “Princeton material”

Remember those people who never believed in you? Well, it seems that even people in high places have been through this! In fact, her guidance counselor once told a teenage Michelle Obama that they weren’t so sure she could be “Princeton material,” even if she studied hard to complete high school in the top 10% of her class.

Any other teenager would have been devastated, but not Michelle. She rapidly changed her strategy, asking her assistant principal for a letter of recommendation. She never forgot the fact that she didn’t want to allow one person’s perspective to change everything she ever wished for. She was ultimately accepted as a result of her stellar admission essay.

She left a promising career in private practice to join the public service

She graduated with honors from both Princeton University and Harvard Legal School and initiated her career at Sidley Austin LLP, the sixth-largest corporate law firm in the United States. Michelle Obama rapidly earned quite a reputation for her academic excellence.

Even so, she decided to leave her employment in 1993 to start a nationwide service initiative known as Public Allies Chicago. She later explained that one of the reasons she wanted to change careers was that she was looking for a sense of fulfillment, which she could only achieve by seeing young people recognize their capacity to improve the lives of those around them.
