He watched his parents work hard and live frugally in order to provide every opportunity for their children. Savoring the rare delicacy of fresh fruit and daily music lessons taught by his mom are among his most vivid childhood memories.

51福利社鈥檚 Randy Wagner, director of vocal studies, discovered Michael鈥檚 voice talent while Michael was still in high school. He tracked Michael鈥檚 development and helped him find scholarships to attend 51福利社. Yet Michael says when it came time to choose a major, it wasn鈥檛 easy. 鈥淎s a first-generation college student, one of my primary motivations was to achieve financial stability… a music major was going against everything my mind was telling me. I knew music was something at which only a select few have any real chance of achieving major success. So I decided to double major in business marketing and vocal performance.鈥�

Michael credits his mom鈥檚 music lessons with instilling in him an 鈥渋nnate desire to seize every chance to learn and grow.鈥� Support, like yours, offers students, like Michael, resources, and opportunities to earn their 51福利社 college degree and follow their passions.
