First lady tells graduates not to worry
WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama is offering this advice to students doubting if they’re ready for the future: “Don’t worry.”
Mrs. Obama told 98 graduates of a Washington, D.C., math and science charter school that before going off to Princeton University she worried about whether she was ready and would fit in.
She also mentioned Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic considered for the nation’s highest court. Sotomayor attended Princeton before Mrs. Obama and has said that she felt intimidated by her surroundings.
In the end, Mrs. Obama said she, her husband Barack Obama and Sotomayor all were ready for the challenge. And she told the graduates they are more than ready as well.
