Michael's mental condition is fine, although he does worry very much about where his condition will be taking him in the future. He is very concerned about the time it is taking to get his bone marrow (stem cell) transplant scheduled and the issues relating to paying for it due to the fact that our insurance company has thus far failed to cover the procedure.

Occupation:
Student: University of Maryland (currently on medical leave)
Possible Majors: Communications | Journalism | Undecided (for the most part)
Michael worked for a couple of years at the General Cinema movie theater at the Mazza Gallery in Washington DC, while in high school, and as a student at the University of Maryland.

Hobbies:
• Ice Skating: Michael started ice skating when he was 4 years old. He played ice hockey until he graduated high school and stopped when he got sick. Michael played at a time when 5:30 AM ice times were a fact of life.
• Ice Hockey: He loves to watch the NHL on TV
• Sports: Michael loved to play ice hockey, baseball and soccer for Bethesda Chevy Chase Baseball, the Montgomery Ice Hockey Association and Stoddert Soccer. Michael played right wing for both Montgomery Hockey and his high school ice hockey team, "The Barons," at B-CC High school. Michael played mostly second base for BCC baseball , and was a forward on most of his soccer teams.
• Video Games: He was given a Nintendo game console on his 5th birthday and never looked back. It was one of his favorite pastimes. Michael can no longer play video games which were such a big part of his life. This makes him extremely unhappy and sad at the moment. He still holds out the hope that one day, with a successful transplant, that he might still be able to play all the games he has missed since he got sick. He continues to visit IGN on a daily basis to read about the latest in the gaming world.
