Michelle Obama: Well, there were many
times throughout my life when I faced
challenges, but one that stands out to me
was when I was applying to college. I had a
guidance counselor who told me that I
wasn't "Princeton material." But I didn't let
that stop me. I worked hard and eventually
got accepted to Princeton, and it was one of
the best decisions I ever made.

Host 1: Wow, that's amazing! It just goes to

show that with hard work and
determination, anything is possible.

Host 2: Speaking of possibilities, what do you

see for the future of our country?

Michelle Obama: I think we have a lot of

work to do to make sure that everyone has
access to the same opportunities and that
we're all treated fairly. But I'm optimistic
that if we work together and stay focused,
we can make progress.

Presenter 1: Michelle, in addition to your

role as First Lady, you're also a lawyer. Can
you talk a little bit about how you've applied
your legal skills in your work outside of the
White House?

Michelle Obama: Absolutely. After I left the

White House, I founded the Obama
Foundation, a nonprofit organization that
works to inspire and empower the next
generation of leaders. As a lawyer, I've used
my skills to help create programs and
opportunities that promote leadership and
social change.

Presenter 2: That's great. And speaking of

achievements, is there anything in particular
that you're especially proud of in your career
so far?

Michelle Obama: I think one of my biggest

accomplishments has been the Let's Move!
program that I launched during my time as
First Lady. It was a national campaign to
combat childhood obesity and promote
physical activity and healthy eating. It was
incredible to see how the entire country
came together to support this effort, and
knowing that I had an impact on the lives of
so many children and families is something
 that I will always be proud of.

Host 1: That's a great message. And with

that, unfortunately, we're out of time. Thank
you so much for joining us today, Michelle.

Michelle Obama: Thank you for having me.

It's been a pleasure.
