Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven School Chengdu, China

　　　Ni hao. It is a pleasure to be here at Number Seven School. Thank you so much for your warm welcome.

　　Before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that our hearts 36   to all with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.  37  I said this past weekend , we are keeping all of them in our   38   and our prayers at this extremely difficult time.

　　And I want to thank all the students here today, both those of you here   39   and those of you joining remotely from across the region.

　　The   40   is that I grew up like many of you. I lived with my family in a tiny apartment in Chicago. We didn’t have much money, but our little home was   41   with love. Every evening, my family would laugh and share stories   42  dinner.

　　　Family meant   43   to us, including our extended family. My elderly great aunt and uncle lived nearby and when their health started to decline my parents   44  , helping my uncle shave and dress each morning. We took care of each other.

　　　My parents  45    all of their love and hope into us.   46  we weren’t rich, they had big dreams for me and my brother. 

　　They saved every penny. That wasn’t easy for them, especially for my father. He had a serious illness. As he got sicker,  47  got harder for him to walk. But   48  much pain he was in, my father  49   missed a day of work.

　　　And every day, like many of you, I felt the weight of my parents’ 50  on my shoulders.

Every day, I wanted to make them proud.

　　　I took an exam and got into a special public high school  51  I was able to get a better education. But it was very far, so I had to get up early and  52  a bus for an hour. Every afternoon, I would take that same bus back and then immediately start my homework, late

_53   the night.

　　　Whenever I got tired or   54  , I would remember something my mother always said: “A good education is something that no one can  55   you.”
