She also talked to the magazine about the importance of giving back and paying it forward.

"My parents taught me from an early age that all of us can find time to give back," Mrs. Obama told the website.

"And throughout my life, whenever I've volunteered, I leave feeling like I'm getting as much as I'm giving."

The presidential inauguration consists of a week of events including the swearing-in ceremony (a small private one on Sunday and a public ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Monday), inaugural address, inaugural parade and numerous balls and galas honoring the newly re-elected president of the United States.

Most major television networks and cable channels plan to cover the festivities all day.
