"We've found significant plagiarism on your text and also have discovered 6 writing problems," the site said. Though the spelling and paragraph construction was true, Grammarly showed there was issues with grammar, punctuation, improvement, style and, obviously, plagiarism. "From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values which you work hard for what you want in life, that word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, which you treat individuals with respect.

They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we have to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limitation to your own accomplishments is the potency of dreams and your willingness to work for them." The Trump Campaign denies that the former supermodel did something wrong. "To think that she would do something like this knowing how inspected her speech was going to be last night is simply really absurd," Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort told CNN Tuesday. "There's no cribbing of Michelle Obama's speech. These were common words and values. She cares about her family."
