I like when she said : "failure is the key to success".
DJ khaled
It is Logic! I can guarantee you all truly successful people out there have gone through several failures, but finally become successful because they kept trying again every time they fail. You only become a failure when you quit!
I love it!
Who care what Michelle has to say 6 years ago I'm just worried about what she says today she should just go away
You can see the admiration in tamera's eyes when she looks at Michelle😭
+TearOfMangolia her husband is, she may not be.
+TearOfMangolia Where did you hear her say that? I've never heard her claim any political party. I've heard her say she's a moderate and votes according to the individual candidate, not a party.
It was beautiful to see❤️
ummm, Tamera is a Trump supporter
@@esthergrace6466 actually in the first ep ever of the real she mentioned her being a conservative and how you don’t really see people in that political spectrum on these types of shows especially black women. She also went on Fox and said she ended up voting for the lesser of two evils which from her POV was Trump . Idk if she still is a trump supporter... but yes her and her husband did vote for trump.
I was thinking of giving up on school because I just feel like I'm just average, and not really the "best" in any subject. But now after watching this I'm determined to keep going! Thank you The Real!
+Refilwe Ferreira thank you !xx
+tiffany matsvai Me too!! This motivated me a lot!
Same here!
I'm the same way.
Yes! Do it. You will not regret it
I'm in love with Jeanie's dress 😍💁🏻👗
same!!!
+Mzlily09 me too. She was the best dressed here in my opinion.
her style is amazing as usual
+Mzlily09 Umm, hellooo? You *know* that if anyone is going to be #onpoint it will be Miss Jeanie Mai. Love her!!!
Adrienne looked particularly lovely and fifties-vintage. On the other hand I was rather surprised by Tamar's choice though--rather business casual compared with her cast-mates' very classic, elegant cocktail dresses.
+annaisiomaful Really!
Needed this took a break from college ! But I'm think I'm going back can't let this smartness go away 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you Michelle 😍
Yeah go do it!👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
+Arriell Wardrett Same here
+Arriell Wardrett your smart for a reason...take advantage of your intellect and as far as GOD will take you!
+Patrick Rogers thank you I really appreciate it !!
Arrie W love it you can change everything in your life anytime👌
The way she said "He was a bum" @7:11 lmaoooooooooooooooooo
lo
+madeyoulook marriage
Tamera was the BEST person to open THIS WHITE HOUSE SEGMENT... She has sooo much claaaaassss
ESE it's lovely💙✨
mrs. Obama hair is everything
It was laid for the heavens!
yes her hair! !!😊😊😊
Yes!
+Lion Gang She has hair that is naturally long and thick like that when she's not wearing a weave. I remember seeing an interview with her hair stylist who did her hair before she became first lady. Occassionally her hairstylist puts in a few pieces to change her style. For example if she cuts the front for bangs it's too short for another style so he adds a piece in.
Oh,Lord please if the next first Lady is transsexual please make everybody HAPPY and make her WHITE. the end.
She's 52?!!!!!!! DAAAAYUUUMMM SHE LOOK GOOOOOOOD!!!!! OML DIDN'T EVEN KNOW :O
Hello. SHE DOESNT EVEN LOOL 52 LIKE REALLY??
Look*
That's that Melanin it's poppin'! 👸🏽
@@brandywalker3270 right!
Curtis Jones your mother’s a man
You have Tamar in the white house shouting ''YAAASSSS''!!! love it
I'm in my final year of economics degree in LSE. Sometimes I still felt like why am I here? Why am I studying all this graphs and stats? The First Lady and this video have just reminded me why I started and that I should walk all the way to the end. So inspirational. Thank you.
You just did that for me :) I have a lot of doubts and fears just like what Michelle Obama said in the beginning of the video but looking at her and Barack and now you I realise YES I can do it and there's no maybe about it.
There's no reason why I can't do well.
Aw! I hope you got through your finals as a breeze😄
This comment was 2 years ago. How was it? Updates?
I love Loni's passion for education and being informed, it's so tangible, I'm here for it.
Luv that Tamera did school and a tv show, it encourages me even more to not give up no matter how long it takes
YESSS‼️‼️👏👏🧡👩🏽🎓
I am contemplating going back to school. I am 35...I needed to hear ALL OF THIS! :-) Thank you!
Hope you did it. If not, it's never later, knowledge is forever. You can also do certification courses that appeals to you if time and money are hindrances. Wish you well 😘
I hope you did it. I'm a third-generation project kid but I have a master's degree and several bachelor's degrees have rental properties and I vacation in some of the most exotic places it's all mine blowing don't give up always believe in yourself if I can so can you
me too!
Tamera is everything!
I love how calm and collected Tamera is while talking to the first lady.
I am so grateful they went to the white house to have this discussion. I'm so inspired.
Loni's right. We have the COOLEST First Lady ever! Love Michelle Obama
She looks so beautiful, it's like 100% unbelievable that she's 52
I know right!! I didn't believe it either!
She doesn't have to work or doing anything. It's a stress-free life, you'll age very nicely
+Racist Troll she doesn't hve to, but she DOES!!! N I can name several people in my family - and friends to the family dat are HARD workers n still look as if they were at least 15 years younger.
+L.Weary's vloggs how does this make him racist. I'm black and I see nothing racist in his comment. Although his comment is not appropriate. Please don't look stupid by pulling the race card out of nowhere. Typical African American.
Yes they uploaded a lot I'm happy
Hats off to Michelle Obama. She's one of the best first ladies this country has ever had.
It's a bit sad that after all of the important topics these ladies discussed, the most/most popular comments on here are about how the women look.
I absolutely love Michelle Obama. Love everything she stands for. This woman is a true role model, all of the Real ladies are just true role models. I love seeing a room full of such beautiful and intelligent women talking about something so important as education. Love you ladies at the Real, keep doing what you're doing.
FINALLY someone who wrote a comment that isn't about how everyone looks in their dresses. Yeah they all look nice, but people missed the ENTIRE point, except you Pili
I love her so much, and I'm not even american. She's inspired me to apply for college, be it is in Australia but it still college.. What a great show, will this ever air in Australia?? Thank u awesome upload..
I am sitting here going through the worst week of my schooling career and I feel like I can get up again push through. Last night I prayed and asked for help and here it is. Taking my 100th wind........the issues of financing studies is so important. Here in SA we are in the middle of student protests about fees #FeesMustFall
She is not 52!? 😱 I want her team! 💇🏽💅🏽👄💄💁🏽💜
It honestly does not matter what your political views are, but you can't deny how down to earth our First Lady is.
Of course college is important, but a traditional 4 year school is not for everyone. We need more of a push for the technical and skilled trades. Plumbers, welders, and electricians can make just as much and actually have a more secure future than someone with an MBA. Also there are lots of careers, like mine in Real Estate, that don't require any kind of degree.
True those technical jobs pay alot I regret going for criminal justice degree. I got nothing but student debt.
Thank you!!
And here I am getting a degree in Real Estate in South Africa 😂
I didn't realize First Lady is a capricorn!! yayyy #teamcapricorn
♑💃
+Ayysia Dansby yes!
Hey!! 🙌
Ayysia Dansby ayeee
Yas!!! #teamcapricorn
You see Tamera, this is what you should have told the young lady the other day. But instead, you told her what she wanted to hear instead of telling her what she needed to hear. Mrs Mowry said you have to go to college although you wanted to be an actress and you did even though it took you 7 years. I hope the young lady tuned in to this episode to get the *REAL ADVISE*! ....Like Mrs Obama said *You gotta have a plan B no matter where you want to go in life! Most Kids, college got to be that plan B*
+Michie Oo College isn't the end all be all. I have a few degrees and working on another one. I love academia but it's not for everyone. Even if you don't go to college, you can go to trade school and learn a skill such as being a mechanic or electrician. There's always going to be a market for those.
+Jenea Nicole but I think her point is mainly to say that don't have one plan, and also have an education to fall back on. I mean trade schools are a form of education or higher education. So I mean taking that route can be a back
+Jenea Nicole can be a back up plan. I don't know why I didn't continue my sentence
+Michie Oo She didn't her what she wanted hear, she told her to follow her dreams. The girl was clearly miserable in college and wanted to pursue a career as a make up artist. College isn't for everyone, and if the make up industry doesn't work out she can always return to school. Tamera was an actress before she was college grad, college will always be there.
Bebe Heart she told her what she wanted to hear. Tamera wasn't encouraging her to go to school before or even after she pursue her make up career. Tamera never said the words you are now saying to me.
She said do whats best for you (rather vague). She needed to elaborate more on the issue, she was rather one sided knowing she could have explained how she did what she loved and went to school. Tamera was almost in the same predicament, she should have said more.
Michelle looks so good for her age!!

"Millions of dollars are left on the table bc ppl don't fill it out" where? Cause I needed that and they only gave me half of my tuition.
Well I hope you filled everything out as soon as it arrived because they say timing can make a difference ✔️
+Ciarra Johnson even then, there's still some left over that they're not tryna give up.
+VONiiE8 most of it depends on your parents' income. FAFSA gave me everything because my mom is retired.
Talk to your guidance counselor or financial aid advisor
This is very inspiring. I love her for this. Thank You! Thank You! Thank you!
I am from a working class family, I graduated high school, went in the military for 5 years, started college when I got out, because I have always had to work full time, but I just got my masters degree in nursing leadership/management
Loni just made me so emotional because I just graduated from Prairie View also. You better say that in the White House Loni!!!!!!!
The first lady is just a class apart... The real ladies were so sober and in awe..
❤❤❤Michelle
Thank you so much for uploading this! I am going to show this to my class here in Germany! Job well done! I must say, I can't see any other talk show doing this interview and having such a wonderful time with the First Lady Michelle! Congratulations!
Jeannie's dress is LIFE! Who makes and where can I GET IT! LOL
I got a lot of money from filling out my FAFSA and I had scholarships from my college. I got my tuition down pretty damn low but I still couldn't pay the remaining balance because my parents just could not help me. I also couldn't get a loan with no credit and had no one who could co-sign for me. I will try all over again but make sure, if you're like me and your parents can't really help, that you apply for every scholarship, grant, and loan you can. I thought my parents would help if I got my tuition down but they didn't and had I known that I would have spent more time on scholarships. There's nothing worse than preparing since the 10th grade for college and literally a couple weeks before Move-In Day you can't go.
This was the exact thing that happened to me and I was devastated😭😭😭😭.
But that didn't stop me I kept researching .
Tip 1: Maybe apply for junior college and get your GPA up for you can qualify for more scholarships.
Tip 2: Call the college that you really want to go to and say " I really would love to go to your school but I can't afford the tuition". Make it seem like you are having to decide between them and another school.
*Colleges want as many students they can get*
Trust me that worked for me they gave me this scholarship out of nowhere lol.
You have to be on your grind Applying for scholarships like it's a full time job, the money is out there but you have to be diligent...apply for everything and write every essay. Do not become discourage scholarships are available at banks, your parent's job, supermarkets, youth community centers, just about every corporation offers a scholarship...look for things that are gender, race, or studies specific. Sometimes you have to think outside the box...R&B singer K. Michelle went to college on a yodeling scholarship....Student loans are ok if you go into nursing or teaching because those fields will pay for your education usually if after graduation you enter into a contract for a limited amount of time
Oh and community service goes a long way...many scholarships require you to have a certain number of hours of community service...find ways to volunteer to serve others at local community events where volunteers are needed, schools, libraries, hospitals, passing out fliers for non-profits, organizing and/or participating in food drives, blood drives, community awareness programs and fundraisers...all count toward community service hours and look good on your scholarship application.
You're both right. I know all these things I just didn't go for them as hard as I could've because I was under the impression I was gonna get some help. My parents acted like they were gonna help my entire life then when they start seeing the actual numbers they put it all on me. I brought my tuition (for the Fall) from around 15k to 2k (and some odd dollars) and my parents left me high and dry. The school was even gonna put them on a payment plan. But nope, they thought the government was gonna pay for it all. They depend way too much on handouts and assistance and expect me to do the same. They weren't trying to pay for *anything*. I'm not going to be able to go to that university anymore since I now have a baby to support but I'm going *somewhere* and now I know exactly what I gotta do.
+Alaylah Brown There's always community college! I'm from Pittsburgh and, if you attend CCAC (community college) for 2 years, your credits can be transferred to any local school (Pitt, CMU, Duquesne, etc)!
✔️See if that applies at any of your community colleges
This is so encouraging!!
So inspiring love this!
what? shut up!
+Mercedes Mcgee lol
Michelle Obama is dope!! Really down to earth 😊
I know right.
This Made Me Cry, but in an inspirational way. I always find it hard to focus on school and want to finish so badly, that I lose sight in taking my time. Tamera took 7 years and if she didn't give up, then I surely can keep my head up. Ms. Obama really spoke to my mind because she came from a rough time like some of us are having right now and this truly means something to me. I will keep going !
I'm going to miss Michelle Obama :(
I genuinely admire Mrs.Michelle Obama for her beautiful presence during the shows and the way she communicate effectively with the young generations going through their adolescent days and figuring out what to do after finishing high school.
woahhhhhhh the real has blown!!! am so proud of the real for their growth cause i was here since the test show aired and its just amazing to actually watch their growth from the very onset. congrats again gals
In Tamar's words, "Won't he do it?!" I meaaaaaan, I'm so proud of the ladies on this show!!!! I'm so happy I'm alive to witness this. I'm happy they were able to sit down with her before President Obama leaves. This is the epitome of inspiration. Everything the First Lady said about education is more than accurate and rings so true in my own life.
love the show guys!! i would love if you bring back the binge segments of the show they are my favorite!
I been doubting myself for a longtime that's why I stopped going to school
Marcus, you have success written all over you I can tell you if you put your mind to anything you will succeed. I sincerely hope that you will tap in to your seed of greatness and gave school a try again. I use to have doubts about school myself and never thought I would go to college but when I started believing that I could do it and I eventually got my masters degree. So Marcus don't throw in the towel you're smart and you know you can do well at whatever you put your mind too.
Don't ever doubt yourself if college is a pressing issue on your heart seek God and ask him to lead you and guide you and watch and see how fast he will work this out for you blessing to you!
+Marcus Martin prayer changes everything! don't let fear stop u from what GOD has planned for your life. praying for u my man!!!
It's never too late. Find silence and listen to your Higher Self.
+Marcus Martin Even if it's just one class, never stop going. My favorite classes were the ones I felt like the dumbest person in the room in. It gave me a bar to set for myself. Never give up!!
Michelle Obama is such an inspiration to me. I am so happy that they got the opportunity to interview her.
Michelle Obama was really open!
I've never seen her this direct and honest
before, it's a nice change of pace.
You can see it in her eyes and tone of voice.
This lady knows something we don't know!
I needed this! Im a sophomore in college and im still trying to gain some confidence. I have a minor stutter, so sometimes I will not participate in class even when I know the answer! Because I will be afraid to have a block on a word. Dont even get me started on the anxiety I get when i see the word presentation on the syllabus lol Unlike most people with a stutter who have it from a young age, mine started my freshman year of high school.Thanks to FLOTUS and all the ladies on the real im not going to let it hinder my future and the opportunity for my voice to be heard!
I took me 5 yrs for my BA 3 yrs for my Masters and I graduated at 42 yrs young and I am a Latina :) single mother of 2 and proud!
i could watch hours of this.love it..now interview Barack!
I love Loni she always proud of where she's from! So down to earth 🌎
I love how soft spoken Tamera is 😍
I love Tamera's confidence and class here. She was brilliant, she stood out for me and was just outstanding.
Tamar. You are so sitting on stage. You go girl. Very meaningful ensemble for the first lady Michelle. Stylist needs a raise if you ask me
This is very inspirational and it really spoke to us youngsters.I'm in my 2nd year of college studying French I entered in 2014.Thanks for speaking to us about the importance of studying.And yes It's true among all generations soo far we've been the most blessed with these electronic gadgets.I loved Tamar's and Jenni's looks the most.
Loni looks so good with braids
Aww THANKS Tamera I don't feel bad now, I'm graduating this year with a Bachelor's in Communications and it took more than seven years... #NavyWife#MomOfTwoBoys😊❤❤❤❤👍
Love love love!!!!!
*I love this episode, really motivated*
Three snapps! Lonnie said that! "we have the coolest first lady 😁".
I filled out my fafsa and I was allowed 5 grand. My degree is costing me 58 grand. I'm glad for the help but... I'm still up the creek big time.
🙏
Michelle Obama needs to run for president.
A big shout out to all The Real Fans! I love how we support the show and each other. Fantastic video!!
Tamar's earrings 😳
and the pants too 🙈
Her stylist failed her this day 😕
+Stapled Crown Agreed 😕
+Stapled Crown I wish I could thumbs up this comment more than once
+Stapled Crown I'm not sure why she or Vince approved this look. Fake ponytail, busy pants, fringe...on her sleeves too....smh. Tamar usually looks nice. A nice dress and heels would've been good.
Love that women there will never be another first family like this i'm thankful i got to see this
I just love Michelle Obama. Shes such an inspiration🙌🙌🙌.
First Lady is all that and then some.
Lonnie we know you did good for yourself in life you won't let us forget
YESSSSS I KNOW THA WAS AN HONOUR BECAUSE I WAS HONOURED WATCHING IT. I LOVE OUR FIRST LADY😍😍😍😍
Loved this interview and Loni looked amazing :D
I’ve always had big dreams but I’m in 7th grade. I’m a straight A student but there’s this one boy that every now or then when I’m talking about my dreams he talks down on me and says education doesn’t matter. I started slipping a little but after watching this pulled it back. Thanks Michelle and The Real!
Me and Michelle have the same birthday dawg 😩😩 lol #Jan17th
ChanteLovesYa I️ didn’t know that, mines is too
this got me soo much confidence, that i still have a chance to do good even though i fooled around in a half semester
Didn’t you hear thought, so did Obama and he still was President of the United States! The key is to have confidence in yourself that you will succeed no matter the obstacles life puts in your way!
tamera dropped that “sister sister” card 😂😗😗😂
Adrienne looks BEAUTIFUL!! They all look great, but Adrienne REALLY looks nice!
My favourate show❤️
she is amazing!!! everyone looked great!!! I felt like she was speaking to me...definitely inspiring
Love this First Lady I think there were be never best First Lady like her in the history
I needed to hear this
Michelle Obama is so lovely.
FASA has not only loan me the money for school, but connected me to grants. By choice, sends stipend check to help with your situation. So you receive money while your getting your education, and then you use your education to make money.
It being that Barack struggled at first, reveals much about this woman's
soulful nature; usually , a female will not give a seeming to be bum a chance,
and even less , stick with him and by his side. Much props to that developed
in heart woman., many females of all cultures are very much so like her in spirit.,
and even those that are not, are developing into that , gradual.
I wish I had heard this when I started school...
Awesome story shared by the First Lady and very inspirational!
I feel stupid and I really love my career but because so many people doubt me, I am starting to doubt myself
Gilberte reading your post I want to encourage you that if YOU love your career that's all that's important. You see you have to live for you and not for anyone else. Everyone always has an opinion on what you should be doing and how you should live your life and most times it comes from a place of jealousy . God never gave anyone else the vision he gave you so they won't understand. I want to encourage you to stay true and hold on to your dreams and not to doubt yourself. Only you can live your life. There will always be doubters and naysayers but focus on what you love and keep your vision and goals before you.
Michelle is my favorite. 😭😭♥️♥️😭😭♥️♥️
From south side Chicago to Harvard Law School to the Whitehouse 🧡 such an inspiration Mrs. Obama!
Wow ❤️
i recently went back to college and I'm pretty scared. Im terrified of failing and always doubted my intelligence but what Michelle Obama said about stop being afraid, raise your hand in class, BE BOLD with your intelligence idk but that had me in tears. that seriously has opened my eyes and it's true were capable of anything we set our minds to..
I don’t remember writing this comment 6 years ago but I graduated college 3 years ago now 🥺 and I’m thankful for this video clip it really motivated me.
Wow, Mrs. Obama influenced me so much and gave me confidence in under 5min. I love this woman!
"He was a bum" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 THEE First Lady
I've never seen Tamar this quiet in my life 😂😂👌👌❤️
I wish she was our next president
When Obama leaves office is the day I will be crying my eyes out. He & his wife are amazing! They are my favorite people of all time. Their personality & soul just shines through. You can just tell that they are so united and down to Earth.
Absolute example of a model citizen. @michelleobama , absolutely incredible woman. I don’t even think that encompasses how much a roll model she is for humanity. Phenomenal womaaaaaan! To quote another incredible woman. I’m from Chicago. You can guys and you must.
