Barack ObamaI was raised by a single mom who had to put herself through school while looking after two kids. And she worked hard every day and made a lot of sacrifices to make sure we got everything we needed. My grandmother, she started off as a secretary in a bank.

She trained people who would end up becoming her bosses during the course of her career.
