Michael's Story
Life
My Life. I was born in Chicago, moved to Colorado and then moved to Texas. In school, I was a late bloomer. Not until my sophmore year in high-school did I really begin to feel like I fit in. I took a special interest in both Government and Drama. In College, these interests continued and resulted in both finding a career and discovering that I even had some talent for the theatre. I enjoy acting as a diversion to the stresses of my job. I have been in two television commercials and I even had a one shot role on a Fox television series - it was only one episode. I still act occasionally, but it is just for fun and only when I have the time. I played "Peter" when the "Anne Frank in the World" exhibit visited Houston and I played "Freddy" in the Country Playhouse's production of "My Fair Lady". Currently, my job is my life.
School
School, at least my early years, has always been a mystery to me. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that my family moved so much and I was never really able to establish long lasting ties, or if it is just me. When I started school in Chicago, I had a million friends, and even after we moved to Colorado I still had a lot of friends. When I moved to Texas, things changed and it was hard to make friends. I went through a rough period where I felt like an outcast. I was never ridiculed, insulted, or even in a fight until 6th grade. This continued in junior high and I developed a very bad attitude by the time I started High School. I practically ditched class every day of my freshman year. Luckilly things started to change after one of the few friends I had drug me to a church she was going to. I had never been in a...Expand for more
church in my life - I was sure that my feet would start smoking when I stepped in the door - but through that one act of kindness, I found the path to a new life. I became saved and my life started turning around. Deciding to give school another try, this time I excelled. People could not believe the change - they even said that I looked different. I found a renewed interest in school and my new attitude allowed me to make many friends and I was involved in many extracurricular activities (my one regret is that I didn't stick with baseball).
College
In college I grew even more - a friend and I were chosen by a lady from the Carson show to appear in a TV commercial, and though he continued in that direction, I only pursued acting as a playfull diversion. (My friend currently is one of the voices on a famous cartoon sitcom). During college I had the same crappy jobs that all students seem to get in order to pay tuition - I put in my time at greasy food joints and mall retail stores, but the payoff was well worth it. After college I found a wonderful job and I am glad to still be doing that work today.
Workplace
Work. What more can I say? I love my job! After college I became involved with a committee working on legislative oversights and through that found the work that I am doing today. I work for the federal government in tort legislation. I report to a variety of judges, attorneys and physicians. The work I do is very fulfilling and I am able to see and affect change in a very positive way. I am very fortunate to have had the oppurtunities available to me and I am so greatful to have been as financially rewarded in the way that I have been.
