Photos of Michelle Obama from her childhood and early years.
The former FLOTUS posted a throwback of herself on Princeton's campus, reflecting on her time as a first generation college student.
"I know that being a first-generation college student can be scary, because it was scary for me. I was black and from a working-class neighborhood in Chicago, while Princeton’s student body was generally white and well-to-do. I’d never stood out in a crowd or a classroom because of the color of my skin before. But I found close friends and a mentor who gave me the confidence to be myself," Obama wrote.
