Question

We go to school every day to become better people. How can we start to make big changes in our lives? Perhaps we can get tips from former US First Lady Michelle Obama. During a visit to China from March 20 to 26 in 2015, Obama shared her views on education.

The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education. At Chengdu No.7 High School, she told students that having humble roots（出身卑微）doesn’t matter as long as you have perseverance（毅力）. Obama said her family was not rich. Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents’ sacrifices（牺牲）on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud. Persevering was not easy, though.Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 am and study late into the night“But whenever I got tired or discouraged... I would remember something my mother always told me. She said: ‘A good education is something that no one can take away from you.

Mrs. Obama also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad to broaden their horizons（开阔视野）in a speech at Peking University.“ AS the Chinese saying goes:It is better to travel 10.000 miles than to read 10.000 books.” she said. It's not enough to get good grades in school.It’s also important to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies that are different from your own, she noted. Studying overseas can also benefit future international relations. It can help young people from different countries work together to solve shared problems like climate change, Obama said.
