Introducing some of the members of the class of 2021, meet Michael Lin, from Queens, New York.

Michael Lin is a published poet. “I love to be creative,” he says.

Lin’s parents moved from China to Queens two months before he was born. His father died when he was in sixth grade, and he has lived with his mother, sister, and grandmother. He says being a Handler Scholar has made a huge impact.

“Any burden I can take off my mom is a plus.”

Lin, who is thinking of pursuing majors in both English and business, ran track in high school, and is also interested in rowing and squash. Basically, though, he’s just eager to get started with college.

“My friends have been telling me they’re worried or fearful, but I’m ready to dive in,” he says. “I want to take every advantage offered to me.”
