Hey there! It's great to meet you. My name is Michael Flores, and I'm a junior at A-Tech High School. I'm a big fan of taking pictures of landscapes, especially sunsets and sunrises, and I love playing soccer with my friends and family. I've been playing on my high school soccer team since 2023, and I'm proud to say that we had an awesome season this year, with 8 wins and only one loss. Plus, we made it to the playoffs after four long years. I'm super excited to be joining the Student Council at my school soon, and I'm already an active member of the National Honor Society and the National Ed Equity Lab National Honor Society. I'm also going to be part of the Newspaper Club very soon. Social studies is one of my favorite subjects, but my absolute favorite is Automotive. I'm going to graduate from high school as an automotive technician, which is a dream come true for me since I've always loved cars. I remember playing with car tires and toy cars when I was little, and now I get to work on real cars. How cool is that?
Since coming to the U.S, I've been lucky enough to receive some amazing accolades and be part of some fantastic events like Aspen Challenge and Microsoft. Next up, I'm going to City Hall in New York to meet the Mayor, thanks to a United Nations program that I'm a part of. I'm proud to say that I've received five Student of The Month certificates, two certificates of participation, and lots of completion certificates. I've even got trophies for Principal Awards, Academic excellence in science, Spanish, and music, and an Aspen Challenge trophy. My goals for the future are to become a successful Automotive technician and ensure my family and loved ones always have the best of the best. Some fun facts about me: I'm originally from Villanueva, Cortes, Honduras, and I might even have some Jamaican and Indian blood in me. I moved to Brooklyn, NY in 2019 with only a basic knowledge of English, so I'm really proud of how far I've come. And, even though I'm not a big fan of veggies or fruits, I'm always up for trying new things.
I want to leave you with a little advice. Patience is key, and being kind to others is always important. You never know when you might need help, or when someone else might need your help. So, wherever you go, make sure you always leave your mark and be kind. Thanks so much for reading all about me. If you ever want to get in touch, feel free to DM me on Instagram, or drop me an email at.
