Michelle Obama teams up with Wale to help college bound kids
Rapper Wale has teamed up with First Lady Michelle Obama to inspire and help college-bound teens overcome obstacles and succeed in college.

Rapper Wale has teamed up with First Lady Michelle Obama to inspire and help college-bound teens overcome obstacles and succeed in college.
More than 130 students went to the White House on Thursday for a “beating the odds” summit, apart of the Reach Higher initiative, on making a smooth transition to college.
The Grammy-nominated Wale told the students he didn’t take college seriously at first and hoped he’d end up in the NFL.
Billboard reports:
Wale said he landed on academic probation at first, but college eventually taught him to be self-made and “take the training wheels off” in life.
Obama told the students her goal is “to make education cool again.”
The first lady and Wale were part of a panel discussion moderated by E! News co-anchor Terrence Jenkins.
The rapper performed for the students later Thursday.
