On May 2, Michelle Obama made an appearance at the 2018 College Signing Day at Temple University in front of 8,000 high school students, wooing the crowd by embracing a very popular nickname that was given to her after she and former President Barack Obama left the White House: the “forever first lady. ”
“I know you have everything it takes to succeed. I know that you are me. And if I can be standing here as your forever first lady,” she said before pausing for the crowd to cheer, “then you can do anything you put your mind to. ”
