Michelle Obama: A Confidence Builder*

............................................
Whether you come from a country estate or a council estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortude.

'And what Michelle Obama is really doing is showing all us mums who earn that our effort are worth it.

We may may not have jobs that change the world, we may not be married to the men that have those jobs (we may not even have a man around), but that doesn't mean that our multi-tasking isn't important.

Combining family life and working life means that we will never rise to what are considered to be the real heights, but, as Michelle herself said to the Islington School girls, if our children are "loved and nurtured" they can become better, stronger, more successful than their parents.'
