To become

"There's still so much I don't know about America, about life, and about what the future holds. But I know who I am. My father, Fraser, taught me to work hard, to laugh often, and to keep my word. My mother, Marian, taught me to think for myself and to use my voice. Together, in our small apartment on the South Side of Chicago, they helped me understand the value of our story, my story, and more broadly, the story of our country. Even when it's far from beautiful and perfect. Even when reality reminds you of itself more than you would have liked. Your story belongs to you, and it always will. It's up to you to embrace it."
Michelle Obama.
