From : GCSEs: Michelle Obama helped me make the grade
A GIRL who feared she would drop out of school has said US first lady Michelle Obama inspired her to GCSE success.
Talitha Lewis, 16, got 11 GCSEs at grade C or above, and now hopes to be a forensic scientist.
Two years ago, she could not see the point in education – until a visit by Mrs Obama to her school, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson in North London, changed her mind. Talitha, of Hackney, East London, said: “When she said, ‘You’re in charge of your life and it’s up to you what happens next’, I thought, ‘Right, I’ll stay in school, do what I can’.”
