Michael Raul Flores (17) was born on March 5th, 2007 in Hillsboro, TX to his parents Keyre Ortiz and Juan Flores. He has one sibling, a sister named Caroline Ramirez. He would best describe himself as “determined, real, and hardworking”. Something interesting about him is that he qualified for State in both Cross Country and Track.

Michael has attended Itasca ISD since Pre-K. He is involved in Cross Country, Band, Track, Tennis, and NHS. His favorite teacher he’s had at Itasca is Mrs. Innis. His advice for the underclassmen is, “Stay out of trouble, stay off drugs, and stay away from ridiculous girls.”

A person who has made a difference in his life is his aunt Daniela. His role model is his mom, and he would also like to thank her for helping him get this far. After graduation, he plans to go to college, but has not decided which one yet.

In 10 years, Michael sees himself in residency at a hospital.
