President Obama discusses the role his mother played in his life in a new video released by the White House on Saturday.

"My mom, like a lot of single moms, had to struggle, to work. Then she went to school, raised me and raised my sister," Obama says in the video when asked who most influenced his life.


Obama added he was most proud of his mother "probably when she finished her PhD. finally, 'cause it took her a long time. She had to work, she had to raise kids. It was a victory of her spirit."

Asked by Nadia Lopez, principal of Mott Hall Bridges Academy, when Obama has felt "broken," he replied, "I tend to have a pretty buoyant spirit."

The video ends with Obama telling his guests:

"You don't do things alone. Nobody does things alone. Everybody always needs support."
