Just what we need in today's political climate.

Growing up, most of us had the one school project that required us to dress up as one of our heroes.

Twitter user Audrey Dow (@ADCollegeOpp) shared a picture of her 9-year-old daughter dressed as her hero former First Lady Michelle Obama for a school project. Dow says her daughter was inspired by the former First Lady's commitment to helping students go to college, and that she sees herself in her hero.

This tweet on its own is adorable and inspiring, but the story got even better after Obama herself retweeted the photo and gave it her stamp of approval.

An A+ from THE Michelle Obama? You really can't beat that.
