Your Everyday Hero: Dr. Michael L.

Over the last three years, Dr. Michael L. has shown me the potential that any human being has. Dr. L. is a professor at Miami Dade College, where I was fortunate to meet him in class; in extracurricular activities such as the Model United Nations; and in working together on projects such as Service For Peace. In classes, he is very dynamic and brings life to the subject with innovative ways in educating the students. He treats every student as an honor student. He shares his ongoing adventurous experiences in diplomacy and education. Not only does he shares his experiences, but also encourages his students to live up to the potential that every single one of us has. It surprises me the dedication and motivation that he puts in his ventures in community and education. He has not only been a professor, but a friend and a hero to me.
