Keeping Michelle’s Promise

By Juan Carlos Hidalgo

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that.… you push yourselves to be better. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”
 -Michelle Obama, February 3rd, 2008.


“[D]ropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country — and this country needs and values the talents of every American.”
 -President Barack Obama, February 24th, 2009.
