Product Information

Just as the discerning look at the viciousness of American politics will enrage you and make you question the leaders we’ve elected to power, so will Michelle Obama’s experience with the other side of her First Lady journey, the experience with the purity of spirit of genuinely good people—no matter their political affiliations, nationality or socio-economic status—move you. Lenker, Maureen Lee (21 April 2022). "See the trailer for the sexy new Starz Tudor drama all about a young Elizabeth I". Entertainment Weekly . Retrieved 21 April 2022. Widowed Thomas Seymour pines after Elizabeth and seeks her hand in marriage. Lord Protector Edward Seymour organises a secret deal with the French ambassador without the king's knowledge; this is eventually discovered and angers the king and council. Elizabeth agrees to marry Thomas if they obtain Edward Seymour's permission, but Edward refuses to give this. In retaliation, Thomas Seymour makes a failed attempt to kidnap the king. Thomas is detained, while Elizabeth is implicated and presented with a warrant for her arrest. As First Lady, Michelle must be engaged and productive without overstepping her bounds. Her early work focuses on childhood obesity, through the Let’s Move! initiative to promote exercise and healthy eating. Michelle plants a vegetable garden on the South Lawn. She also promotes post-high school education through her Reach Higher initiative, and education for girls around the world through the Let Girls Learn initiative. Finally, she teams up with the Second Lady, Jill Biden, to improve support for military families through the Joining Forces initiative.

Let’s take a look at some examples of different contexts and how the choice between becoming and becomming might change: Context One day in San Antonio, Texas, I noticed a minor commotion in the hallway of the military hospital I was visiting. Nurses shuffled urgently in and out of the room I was about to enter. “He won’t stay in bed,” I heard someone whisper. Inside, I found a broad-shouldered young man from rural Texas who had multiple injuries and whose body had been severely burned. He was in clear agony, tearing off the bedsheets and trying to slide his feet to the floor. It took us all a minute to understand what he was doing. Despite his pain, he was trying to stand up and salute the wife of his commander in chief. a b c "Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming breaks sales record in 15 days". BBC News. November 30, 2018 .

She would seek something that would give her a similar meaning and purpose. Something that would go well beyond the need to secure a higher and higher salary.
