Becoming by Michelle Obama


I just finished listening to the audio version of Michelle Obama's book Becoming and I absolutely loved it. I've always admired Michelle Obama but after listening to Becoming my admiration for her has increased. I was particularly impressed by her decision to leave her high paying job to do work that she found more meaningful. I love the fact that her life story illustrates the way that education can help people from working class backgrounds to achieve things that wouldn't normally be expected from them. Her honesty and openness is refreshing and her story is truly inspiring. This book is a must read for people from all backgrounds.
