Summary:"I always tell people, the question of what you want to be when you grow up is one that you will eternally be answering. I'm still asking myself that question!" Mrs. [Michelle Obama] said. "What am I going to do when I leave here? How do I want to impact the world? I've gotten used to the fact that I don't have to know. I'm always going to be discovering new parts of myself, and you'll find that you will be too."

She founded Mott Hall Bridges Academy in 2010 because she wanted to create "a learning institution that shows our scholars why they matter and how they too can become successful." You might recognize Lopez's name because she was featured in a viral "Humans of New York" campaign in the spring of 2015 that recognized her tireless work with low-income students. That campaign eventually raised $1.4 million for a program that encourages her students to prepare for and attain a quality higher education.
