Michael, 13

Michael is a competitive and athletic young individual with a strong passion for sports, particularly basketball, which he plays competitively for his middle school team. In addition to his love for basketball, Michael enjoys anime and video games, including "Siege", "Fortnite", and "Rust". His favorite food is tacos, although he is a picky eater. Michael also enjoys playing chess and has developed an interest in fishing, showing a wide range of hobbies that keep him active and engaged.Michael lives with his mom and little sister, along with their cat and puppy. They feel safe in their community and have no immediate plans to move. Michael is a highly motivated student-athlete who rarely misses school, reflecting his commitment to both his academics and sports.

While he has no immediate family nearby and lacks positive male role models, Michael remains focused on his goals and is eager for guidance. A mentor could provide Michael with the support and positive male role model he needs. Michael has expressed a desire for someone outside of his immediate family to engage with, and he could greatly benefit from a respectful and responsible adult to connect with. Since he often spends time playing video games or behind a screen, a mentor could help introduce him to other activities, particularly those related to his love for sports and outdoor adventures. Whether playing basketball, fishing, or simply spending time together, a mentor could help Michael expand his interests and offer the guidance he needs to navigate both his academic and personal life.
