In response to the question, "Would our faculty members want this student in their class?" my answer is a definite "Yes!" Michael is a unique individual who does not feel the need to follow the sheep mentality of his peers. He is incredibly creative and insightful. Michael is kind to his classmates and remains popular with many different "cliques." He does not try to fit in with any one group, but is the kind of young man who is respected by his peers and his teachers just because of his kindness and unique personality.
It is not unusual for Michael to ask for clarification on an assignment and to then help other students. I require a major American author-based critical analysis paper. Michael read the works of Hunter S Thompson and created a paper that I use this semester as a model. Like Thompson, Michael gets frustrated with his peers who seem to think the "American Dream" is all about how much money one makes, not caring who gets hurt in the process.
Michael is a caring and introspective young man who will absolutely thrive in the type of university environment offered by UNC. I look forward to seeing him after he graduates as I know he is destined for greatness by the sheer fact that he is his own person.
Sincerely,
Ninon Cheek
