A Very Unusual Meal

It was a lovely day of march. The sun was shining lazily in the blue sky and the wind was blowing softly among the leaves of the huge trees of the forest. 

Emily was standing alone under a pinetree. She had planned a picnic, but her friend was late. She checked her clock costantly to fill the passing minutes and she soon begun to worry. She started wandering around, looking for her. Suddenly, hidden behind the leaves, she saw a strange house she was sure she had never seen before. 

Tired of walking and unsure of what to do, she got in. Soon, she'd regret it.

Michelle Obama: People Help the People

"No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men." 

 -Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Everyone knows Michelle Obama, the former First Lady that accompanied (and keeps accompanying) one of the best presidents America has ever seen. Her determination and her golden heart will always be inspiring for people all around the world, and her sensibility made a significant dent on our society. She said that "being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are", and we could say the same about being a First Lady: she was always there, with the Americans, here thoughts were with them and in each of her words she revealed her immense human side. But how did she get there? 

She started from the bottom, she was nothing but an African-American woman from a working-class, she had no fame, no wealth, just her ready mind and her impressive determination. A woman with a dream: becaming a lawyer. It wasn't easy for her to carry on her studies because of her skin color, but she never gave up, she kept making her way on her own in a world that understimated her qualities, and we all know what happened next: Barak and Michelle Obama at the White House. It sounds like a dream, doesn't it? For sure it could be a nice fairy tale, I can already guess the moral of the story: "if you work hard anything is possible, even becoming President". The best part is that all of this is true, and Michelle Obama actually found her way following her dreams. If she managed to do that, everyone of us has the chance to become who he wants to be, all we have to do is work hard and never give up. 

 If Michelle Obama was a song, I guess she would be "People Help the People" by Birdy. Of course her biography is truly inspiring, but there is more: her words never failed to surprise us with their honesty and strength. Michelle's speechs are an anthem, the claim of a society that only celebrates appearence and forgets the mind and the soul behind it. She doesn't value beauty, she values education, and today we desperately need to know that a good education can get you anywhere and being beautiful is good, but the true seeing is whithin. She also helped a lot of people worldwide, another reason to think that "People Help the People" could be a song about her: she was an activist involved in non profit organisations, she fought against discrimination, obesity and bullying, when someone was broken, she always stood by their side, even if not physically, and she never got tired of that because she has a golden heart.

In conclusion, I can say that having Michelle Obama as First Lady has been an honour and we should take her pure soul and powerful words as an example. The world needs more women like her, let's make this happen. We can make the difference in our lives and in our world, we can and must try to be an Obama.
