“I always thought he would be （useful）, but I had no idea he was going to be president,” Mrs. Obama said to female high school students from the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, who were participating in a day-long university “immersion experience” at the University of Oxford outside of London.
She gave the young women some （insight） into what attracted her to the man who would become the 44th president of the United States. I knew he was a special person. And it had nothing to do with his education, it had nothing to do with potential,” Mrs. Obama said.
The first lady said she was struck by the love Obama felt for his little sister and their mother, who （died） when they were young. She also said they joked a lot and enjoyed his humor.
