 Our mission at the MIYEF grows along with our students. This month, we are going to take a look at one particular student, and how his educational journey has been impacted by his extracurriculars
David Michael is a 2021 senior from Oxford High School in Oxford, Michigan. I met Michael while in the marching band, and was impressed by his commitment, kindness, and overall great attitude. I asked Michael to answer a few questions about his experience with extracurriculars, and how it led to him blossoming into the student he is today.

In spite of the fact that upon my graduation, I can gladly answer that equivalent inquiry with certainty, energy, and self-experience, and even name that activity to be HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America).
