 Michael, when I met him, I was like, wow, I wish I'd had a teacher like you when I was in high school. Michael takes the profession of education to an exemplary level. He puts his students above all else. Without him really, I wouldn't have developed this extreme passion to create a change in the world. I just think that the big picture in life is that the little things that we do on a daily basis that can make all the difference in the world for our students and any project that we do is designed to get them out and into the communities to be young changemakers. I think what drives Michael to do the work he does is his love for this earth, his love for people, his love for life. He empowers and inspires the youth, but also everyone around him because they can see that we can make a difference if we care, and Michael cares.
