Michelle Obama: "My education opened up opportunities that I never could have dreamed of as a young black girl from a working-class family in a big American city. My university degrees transported me to places I never could have imagined—to boardrooms and courtrooms, to the White House—where my mother now lives with our family and we're raising our daughters just steps from the Oval Office. This is such a long way from the tiny apartment where I was raised. But that's the thing about education—it can carry our children such great distances, and bring the most impossible dreams within their reach." —The First Lady speaking at Qatar's #WISE15 on why we need to help #LetGirlsLearn
