Like most high school sophomores, Michael Cabin hadn’t given much thought to his future, especially college. One day during a classroom activity, he was introduced to the stock market. “We chose stocks and watched how well they performed. It was exciting and interesting and I was hooked,” Michael confirms. “It was around this time that I started contemplating what I wanted to do with my life, and realized I would be competing for jobs with people who didn’t have a disability.

I knew that attending college would increase my chance of a successful career, despite my physical limitations. I was determined not to allow my disability to hold me back."
