It was such an honor to have been a part of yesterday’s WOW Circle—a Working on Womanhood program at Hyde Park Academy that creates space for young women to reflect on how to own their narrative in a world that isn’t always set up to empower them.
I’m so happy to be back home in Chicago—and even happier to have spent the afternoon on the South Side with students at Hyde Park Academy! pic.twitter.com/qcd7DiYEij
Michelle and I started the @ObamaFoundation's Futures Series to connect the young leaders of tomorrow with the trailblazers of today. It’s great to see the impact that it’s already having on students from the South Side. https://t.co/0Ga97LzU09
We have a responsibility to the young people of the neighborhood. That's why we launched our Futures Series at Hyde Park Academy, the high school that neighbors the future Obama Presidential Center, to expose students to careers they may not have been envisioning for themselves. pic.twitter.com/fyLYITWG7r

It was wonderful meeting with so many remarkable young people while we were back in Chicago last week. Hearing their stories reminded me so much of my own. They give me so much hope, and I can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have on this community. pic.twitter.com/rGYoM590oG
I had so much fun with these bright young people from Hyde Park Academy! I loved hearing about their ideas, passions, and resilience. My message to them—and to every young person out there—is to keep learning and never give up on your dreams. Barack and I believe in you! pic.twitter.com/hdTIrEodRt
