Michelle Obama praises daughters Malia and Sasha for their grace and resilience: 'I am in awe of my children'
Former First Lady Michelle Obama on Monday said that she is incredibly proud of her two daughters, Malia, 20, and Sasha, 17, who have turned into poised, graceful and resilient young women in spite of their unusual childhood.
Obama made the statement while sitting down with Conan O'Brien for a new episode of his Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast and spoke about how her daughters have become such capable young adults. "I am in awe of my children for the way they have managed this whole thing with poise and grace. There's a resilience that they've had to develop," she said.
The former first lady said that it hasn't been easy for them to grow up in the public eye because of the constant scrutiny they were under. The 54-year-old, at the show, admitted that her daughters used to find her and former President Barack Obama "hugely embarrassing," the Daily Mail reported.
