He watches a lot of TV and likes "SpongeBob" and "Scooby-Doo." He also likes playing video games and playing Rock Band with his friends. In his free time, Michael is into paper folding and drawing.
When he grows up, Michael plans on going to college, getting a good job and having a nice family. He wants to be a policeman. He likes school and is getting mostly As and Bs. Michael has a lot of friends.
Michael is being raised by his single dad. His father says that Michael is a good kid and that he would benefit from having a Big Brother to spend some one-on-one time with.
