"I know there are moments when you'd probably rather just turn back and go back to where you started," the Becoming author continued.

"But if there's anything I've learned about all of you over these past couple of years is that you are resilient and you're flexible. And above all, you're capable of achieving anything you set your mind to," she said.

Before ending the video, which she partly captioned, "I believe in you and will be rooting for you every step of the way," the Michelle Obama Podcast host also wished the graduating class of 2022 good luck in all of their future endeavors.
