Michael Young II

Michael Young II came to Delaware Tech for the opportunity to "be among like-minded individuals, learn in a structured environment, and develop into a well-rounded individual." Michael's parents didn't attend college, and he wanted to see his potential. "At first, I chose Delaware Tech because I didn't know what exactly I wanted to do. The College offered an affordable education, but I've come to like the college even more for the great faculty and overall environment. Learning is enjoyable and there's help when I need it."

Michael moved to Delaware from another state and is looking at this as a new beginning. "This was a fresh start in my life. During my time at Delaware Tech, I'm figuring out who I am, what I believe, and who I want to be. I've spent an exorbitant amount of time trying to figure out what I should do with my life, but what I've come to realize is that the field of work doesn't matter as much as what career traits fit you. Through a multitude of experiences and introspection, I've come to find that I like novelty, problem solving, creativity, and helping people. What better field to experience all of these traits than information technology?"

Before enrolling at Delaware Tech, Michael said he was "definitely more immature and disorganized. I have become more of a structured and well-rounded individual."

Michael advised students to manage their time correctly. "We all procrastinate, but too much procrastination leads to things piling up and an increase in stress and anxiety. Go to class, ask questions, talk to others, and don't be afraid to ask for more help."

After graduating from Delaware Tech, Michael plans to continue his education at Wilmington University. "My dream career is to be a teacher in my field. I really enjoy taking concepts and finding creative ways to teach them to others. It's a fun challenge to take information and find the most efficient way to understand and convey it."
