With a background in early childhood education, he was a professor and director at the University of Delaware Center for Disability studies before working as a staffer for the senate. Here’s what some of the students had to say about this Conversation With: “The conversation was very heart touching. I loved hearing his stories and learning about the work he did as a youth and young adult. He lead a very inspiring life and I think we need more people like him.” -Aidan “Mr. Michael has to be the most father-like person I have ever met. He is so kind, so passionate, and so caring. You could tell he enjoyed life from the beginning. He is so emotional about hi kids and his work, showing he is really passionate.” -Claude “I thought the conversation with was so cool! I thought it was so interesting that we had someone who works for a Senator got to come into speak with us. It was also interesting hearing his political views, especially since he is involved with politics. I thought he was very emotional which showed to me that he is strong and not afraid to show his emotions. Both times when he got emotional, I felt moved.” -Olivia...
Actor and motivational speaker David DeBoy, known in Baltimore for his song “Crabs for Christmas”, spoke with the students in today’s Conversation With. “I loved the seminar, he was so nice and funny. I loved the life lessons he gave me and my classmates, one I really liked was to pay attention to the little things because I’m not going to be here at some point so I should make my life count, and that was a good lesson he gave. Another thing I liked was the elevator speeches because I got to learn things about myself and my classmates, one instance of this would be that I didn’t know that Sara wanted to be a bio-nuclear physicist and engineer.” -Ronan “I really loved the seminar. Usually people just talk but he made us involved with it. I thought he spoke very well and he knew how to keep us interested in the talk. He was really fun and had a good personality. When I was younger I would hear his song being played, but I never thought I would meet the person who sang the song so that was really cool.” -Garrett ...

I love a person that's so interesting such as he because he kept me pulled in the entire time. It was never a dull moment with Tony Medina in the room.
