Michelle Obama’s Final Address: ‘Embrace Courage. Stay Focused. Remain Committed.’
In a heartfelt farewell, Michelle Obama delivered her last speech as First Lady at an event celebrating the 2017 School Counselor of the Year. In keeping with her dedication to the welfare of children and teens, her remarks served as an inspiring reminder that hope for the future is alive, even as the Obama family prepares to leave the White House.
Launched by Michelle herself in 2015, the award was part of her “Reach Higher” initiative to promote higher education. It’s only fitting that her final address as First Lady would honor those dedicated to helping young minds flourish. Reflecting on her eight years in the White House, where she championed education, health, and military families, Michelle expressed her deep emotions, saying, “I want our youth to understand that they are valued and that they belong.”
She encouraged the younger generation to pursue knowledge fearlessly and to harness that education for the greater good. “So listen up, young people! Don’t shy away. Stay focused. Stay determined. Keep hope alive. Empower yourself through education, then put that knowledge to work in creating a country that reflects your immense potential. Lead with hope; let fear take a backseat.”
As she reminded our youth of their importance, it was a bittersweet moment knowing that the incoming administration may not share the same commitment to their development. Over the past eight years, the Obamas have given many of us confidence in a brighter future for our children. With questions swirling about the direction of various issues, including education, Michelle’s words resonate deeply.
In just a fortnight, the Obama family will depart the White House, taking a piece of our hearts along with them. Their unique ability to connect with everyday people, largely due to Michelle’s relatable and down-to-earth approach, has set a standard of grace and class. She has raised two remarkable young women while supporting her husband, and her popularity stems from her unwavering advocacy for equality and education.
Though it’s disheartening to bid farewell to such a passionate advocate for youth, we can only hope she continues her mission to uplift families and children beyond her official role. With tears in her eyes, she concluded her speech, stating, “Being your First Lady has been the greatest honor of my life, and I hope I have made you proud.”
And indeed, she has.
