Michael Stone
Founder, Step Ahead Development Program
I graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor's Degree in English and a double-minor in Economics & Mathematics. I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a 4.0 GPA and a Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities & Media Studies. I have been really fortunate to attend some of the top academic institutions, and I am very proud of the way football left me with such a valuable education and degree.​
​
I am passionate about reading and writing, and I enjoy helping high school students find ways to use their voice through literature. I have a strong understanding of Math through Calculus II, and I enjoy using my conversational Spanish to help others learn English. Unfortunately, I do not have a great understanding of anything science-related.

"Life is a big game of perspective. While there's no board game out there called perspective, but there is one called Life, and it's up to us to decide which one we are going to live."
