Hello......I found this after I saw your Cliburn video. I was interested because my path has been a bit similar to yours, with the exception that my teachers probably wish I shared more of your feeling for how we make them look! :-)

Very interesting and impressive video. Was it for local TV, or does the university just generally do such videos on some of their people?

Hi larchmontmark. Glad Dr. Boucree's story resonated with you. This is part of a series of videos UM-Flint produced for the web to highlight the campus, community, and academic accomplishments of our students.

Hey Michael, You gave me my first tour of Xavier University! You were also my Project Soar Coach, waaaaay back in 19___. Great video!

I am so glad to have stumbled upon this video. I constantly play tug of war with the decisions of my career path "music" or "medicine" I am very passionate about becoming a doctor but that same fire fuels in becoming a musician as well! This was very inspiring! I've never considered doing both. I've always felt as if I had to choose only one since both fields are not in relation to one another. I am glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this feeling!! :)
