Michael Boyer says that the advice he’d give his younger self would have to be confidence. Boyer says that he used to lack confidence and wishes he’d gain it sooner.

“I was just in a bad place, and I thought, that I had to start getting better,” Boyer said.

In his freshman and sophomore years of high school, he believes that he lacked confidence. When he realized he did not want to stay in such a hard spot, he knew he needed to get out and work on himself. Even though Boyer has more self-confidence, he continues to work on himself everyday, striving to become the best version of himself possible.
