Barack Obama knows what it means when a family struggles. He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.
Barack knows the American Dream because he has lived it and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who you are,or where you're from,or what you look like,or who you love.
When people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character,and his heart* Barack Obama is still the same man 1 fell in love with all those years ago.
That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, reading the letters people have sent him the letter from the father struggling to pay his bills... from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care ... from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities "-
I see the concern in his eyes and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me* "You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle --- It's not right. We've got to keep working to fix this. We've got so much more to do."
I love that he's never forgotten how he started.
I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even it's hard―especially when it's hard.
And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it— when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost―Barack never lets himself get discouraged by the chatter and the noise.
Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward with patience and wisdom,and courage and grace.
And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here and that change is hard,and change is slow,and it never happens all at once.
But finally we get there,and we always do.

A [2015 •河北省正定中学高一下学期第一次月考]
Around twenty years ago, I was going through hard times. I could not find a satis?fying job. To my shame, I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet and lived in a friend's house.
One afternoon,while driving through a quiet subur?ban (郊夕卜的)neighbourhood, I was so sad that I kept asking myself "Why has my life become so hard?" "What's wrong with the world?" Then I pulled over the bus to drop off a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring, saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case the owner came to look for it.
In the evening, the owner did come to look for her earring. When I handed it to her, she got very excited and continued saying "Thanks, you're a real gentleman. " I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it. She said, "Yes, and you are a good driver, too. What a lovely world it is!" Then she left with satisfaction. I was touched by her last words. I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condi?tions. In fact, nothing was wrong with the world. I should change my attitude towards life. I should be posi?tive about life.
At first it was hard, but then it got easier. Every day I could find things to make me happy. Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friend's house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital. She said she had read my application form and asked me if I would like to work in the hospital. I said yes and got the job. Looking back at the experience I know the most important is to have a positive attitude towards life.
