We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps

"After I finish my shift at the bakery, I start my shift at Starbucks. I work 95 hours per week at three different jobs. One of my sons graduated from Yale, and I have two more children in college. And when they finish, I want to go to college too. I want to be a Big Boss. I’m a boss at the bakery right now, but just a little boss. I want to be a Big Boss."

dukino-the-skag asked: 

How’s Bo doing?

We answered:

Hey everyone, Michelle Obama here! Funny you should ask about Bo. He stopped by to help me answer some of your questions on education, preparing for college, and reaching higher to achieve your goals. Check back here on the White House Tumblr on Monday starting at 4pm ET to see the rest of my answers. Happy Halloween! -mo

Welcome to the chronicles of a late 20-something establishing her ground. My life as of late: self-reflection, career development, evolving foodie, and pining for a partner. I am “right where I should be,” they say. And maybe I am.
