First lady Michelle Obama urged a group of high school students on Tuesday to “work their butts off,” and go to college so that they can succeed in their professional lives and “own their dreams.”

The nearly hour-long gathering at Georgetown University also became, as Obama called it, “a therapy session” — as she shared her inner struggles and fears as a college student at Princeton and Harvard Law School.

In a question-and-answer session with 60 high school juniors and seniors from the Washington area, the first lady reflected on her own life growing up on Chicago’s South Side with limited resources and parents who never attended college. And she urged students to follow her lead and take risks and challenge themselves.
