I get emotional each time i listen to Michelle Obama Speak... She reminds me of my struggles growing up and the possibility of a great future.

I was 19 when I was told to marry 15 year elder uncle asking 60 lacks dowry and I also got some other marriage proposals from 18-19 year onwards huh! I was very upset as I was ambitious student with merit percentage in my area of interest. Although I had break in my education but I am sure one day I will earn more than 60 crore rupees and help daughters get educated! Until and unless daughter is well settled and willing to get married, don't ever dare to get her married! As a Astrologist I get many cases where women are harassed on daily basis because they get married without being financially stable! If no one supports you, run away And get as much educated as you can but don't ever think to settle for anything you don't want for yourself! There are so many dreams that have been broken due to society, since my childhood! One thing I have promised myself is to get financially strong and help other women get educated!

You are such a strong woman and I love your story so much. I’m sorry you had to go through that, I know that some parts of the world are very disgusting and have very disgusting patriarchal and oppressive values pressed upon women. I am with you!!!! I support!!!! 💖🙌🏼 #educationforgirls #girlsrights

Every one deserves education. I'm glad my country Taiwan provides every equal chance for each girl to learn and thrive. We even have our own female president to lead our country. She is a caring, intelligence intelligent leader. Hope she wins re-election in 2020.
