Name: Michael
Three words to describe yourself: curious, lazy, truthful
When I approached Michael he was sitting in the lobby in Creswell and had his shoes off and feet propped up. He told me his year (sophomore) and when I asked why he was in a freshmen residence hall, he said that the atmosphere is "more relaxed" and he lived here last year. Michael was born in Atlanta, and when his parents divorced when he was little, he lived with his dad in Lawrenceville, GA. In 10th grade, his dad wanted to move to Florida, so Michael also moved. When his dad decided to move to California, however, Michael went back to Georgia to live with his mom instead of moving to San Diego. Michael said that as a kid he "acted up in school" which meant talking a lot in class, so living with his mom and two sisters "calmed him down". Family is the most important thing in Michael's life. He is studying computer engineering and wants to eventually become a web designer for a corporation. In his life, Michael would "like a job, place to live, and . . . I guess a family".
