Summer is ending, school is starting back and former First Lady Michelle Obama is reflecting on the value of her own education — and what it means that tens of millions of girls around the world still aren’t getting one.
To mark the International Day of Charity on Thursday, Obama, 55, shared a sweet throwback photo on Instagram from her own early school days — complete with bangs and a toothy grin — and encouraged her followers to do the same.
But she also urged them to go further: “It’s so easy for us to take our education for granted, especially here in the United States,” she wrote along with the photo. “Right now, more than 98 million adolescent girls around the world are not in school.”
She pointed followers to the Girls Opportunity Alliance, run by the eponymous foundation set up her and former President Barack Obama.
“I learned a lot in school—how to do my multiplication tables and structure a paragraph, yes, but also how to push myself, be a good friend, and dust myself off after a failure,” Mrs. Obama, who grew up in Chicago, wrote on Instagram.

This thread is worthless with pictures.
Ain’t buyin it
Okay. Who cares?
I agree. Adolescent girls should be in school. Adolescent girls such as Greta Thunberg(sp?) from Sweden, who is missing a lot of school to be in America to lecture us about global warming, belongs in school.
She’s trying to dispel persistent rumors that she is a guy.
More proof she is going to jump into the election at the last moment. You wait and see.
Tens of millions of soccer moms will squeal in delight.
Yep. Brainless white women will be the downfall of the entire West.
UH, BARF ALERT REQUIRED!
I will have to admit she was a cute little girl.
Not everyone is capable of benefiting from it however.
Think that she’s gearing up for a 2020 run?
Dumb blah blah “we care but avoid the fact my party has no policies” garbage.
Obama, who concentrated in sociology and received a certificate in African-American studies, examined how the attitudes of black alumni have changed over the course of their time at the University. "Will they become more or less motivated to benefit the Black community?" Obama wrote in her thesis. After surveying 89 black graduates, Obama concluded that attending the University as an undergraduate decreased the extent to which black alumni identified with the black community as a whole.So, it seems like she would have concluded that blacks shouldn't attend university as undergraduates because they emerge with less genuine "blackness."
She's going to be the Dems candidate for President 2020. Been predicting it since Jan. 2016 when she had a feminizing makeovah. Yep. This person ticks all the boxes including will unite D vote against Trump. No one else on horizon is workin’ as hard as this one to build a war chest and momomentum. Course she's an anti-American card carrying thug at heart, but she has an excuse: racism. Mr. Holder and ValJar will be her brains. Her husband will be her wingman.
Good work digging up a picture of what she would have looked like as a girl at 10 yo. I know there is an app for constructing how one looks like older; is there a similar one for what one looks like younger?
Is tranny the same as gay?
whiteness of the teeth is way different that the white squares of her outfit.
