He achieves good marks, participates in clubs and is a member of the National Honor Society. He applies all that he learns in therapy to improve both his academics and social behavior, never losing his drive.

GOALS: Michael wants to pursue studies in applied mathematics. His goal is a career in mathematics that allows him to write and create films on the side.
