In 2003, Washington native Lt. Col. Michael P. Anderson was one of seven
American heroes who perished aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia as it hurtled
to earth. From his blue-collar foundations, Michael aspired to fly and explore the
universe. His dreams came true, he said, through hard work, dedication and a
commitment to achievement. Michael tirelessly talked about those same qualities
to every child he spoke with during his many school and community presentations
in Washington and around the country.
National research shows that the chances of at-risk children graduating from
high school improve when opportunities are structured so that students have
meaningful extended-learning experiences coupled with positive self-esteem and
adult role models. The Michael P. Anderson Memorial Program aims to inspire
youth through positive experiences and exceptional adult role models.
