What an incredible role model!  

Grace, eloquence and humility in everything he does. 

With all eyes on Michael it's not surprising that he's struggled to rise above it all.  But I know this is not the end of this young man's dream.  There must always be a first and being first is never easy, but he's done more in just a year to promote the cause of freedom and equality than most of will ever get the chance to do in a lifetime.

Thank you, Michael Sam!
