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. i! I! : :~. :..
