Michiko attends University of Houston with an expected graduation date of 2015. She is active in two volunteer organizations: Honors Ambassadors and Honors Mentors. She graduated from James E Taylor High School in 2011 and lives in Katy, Texas. Michiko’s thoughts on the importance of a college education: “College develops your intellect and strengthens your sense of self. The actual educational component is constantly evolving as you meet new professors and take new classes. The curriculum provides a daily challenge, but the skills and social interactions taken from this environment provide key preparation for succeeding in the professional world.”
