I didn't grow up in a life of privilege. I grew up in a very rough neighborhood in East Los Angeles. This woman drove me three hours a day to a different school to show me a different opportunity. It's her birthday today. Mom, happy birthday. I love you very much.
我成长的环境并不优渥。我在洛杉矶东部一个犯罪盛行的街区长大。面前这位女士每天开三小时车送我去不同的学校，让我见识不同的机会。今天是她的生日。妈妈，生日快乐。我爱你。

[My mom] was really strong around me. Having me at 16 had to have been a big responsibility. My mom gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me.
（妈妈）特别坚强地陪在我身边。16岁就生了我，压力和责任都很大。我妈为了我放弃了一切，打过三份工，一直支持我，为我牺牲了她的生活。

Dear Mama, Everything I am is because of you! You are the first voice that ever sang to me. At every turn you push me to be better. You teach me to be true to myself and the ones I love. When I look into your eyes, I am sooo proud. Now that I'm a mother, I truly realize all the sacrifices you made for us. My love for you goes beyond what I can say. Happy Happy Mama's Day.
亲爱的妈妈，我现在的一切都归功于你！我第一次听到人唱歌是你。每次都是你逼着我做到更好。你教我要对自己诚实，对我爱的人诚实。我看着你的眼睛，我真的好自豪。我现在也当妈妈了，我真的明白了你为我们所做的所有牺牲。我的言语无法表达我对你的爱。母亲节快乐！

米歇尔·奥巴马
I couldn't have done this without you, mom. You are my role model. You are an amazing woman even though you don't think you had anything to do with me. She always says that, it's like, "You raise yourself" and I did not, it was you.
妈妈，没有你就没有我的今天。你是我的榜样。即便你觉得你跟我的成长关系不大，但你仍然是一个超棒的女人！你老是说“你把自己培养成人啦”，但不是啊，是你抚养了我啊妈妈。
母亲节快乐
