Michelle Obama
I think my mother taught me what not to do. She put us first, always, sometimes to the detriment of herself. She encouraged me not to do that. She'd say being a good mother isn't all about sacrificing it's really investing and putting yourself higher on your priority list.
Michelle Obama
