"And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much.
That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities.
Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation. "~Michelle Obama
