FLOTUS meets with stars, students

Thirteen lucky students at Washington’s Anacostia High School were told only that they would spend about an hour Thursday morning chatting with someone famous. Imagine their surprise when Michelle Obama walked in.
They huddled close, in awe, and peppered her with questions about her life, her family, her home. One student wanted to know how she had achieved such success.
“There’s no magic to being here,’’ the first lady said, repeating what has become a signature line. “What I want people to know is that my parents were working-class people. We didn’t have a lot of money.”
Her makeup? (She does it herself, unless there’s a special event.) Her girls? (Up early, they get their own breakfast and make their beds.) College? (A necessity.)
But mostly, FLOTUS talked about the journey — her girlhood in Chicago, and the drive and discipline that propelled her along.
