Michael出生在一個貧困家庭,他的父母1980年搬到英國之前在越南工作.他們在英國找不到工作,因為他們幾乎不會說英語.整個家庭不得不靠救濟金生活,他們住在倫敦東部貧困區哈克尼的一個小房子--成長對于Michael來說不容易,但是他從未放棄.
在他十歲時,他渴望上劍橋大學,這對他來說也不容易.Michael在一所"英國最差的學校"學習,然而,小Michael下決心努力學習,不管他在什么樣的學校.這個聰明的男孩學習很刻苦,每門功課都很優秀.有一次他跟朋友打賭學further math,結果4個月自學教科書之后,他在 AS-level further math考試中得了一個A.
現在Michael是劍橋大學約翰醫學院的明星,并因他優異的成績而獲獎.他希望自己能成為來自弱勢背景的年輕人的榜樣.
