About
My name is Micah Spencer, and I was born in Washington D.C. , in 1991. I am the oldest of four siblings. I was homeschooled for most of my primary education which gave me the chance to pursue many extracurricular interests. This allowed me to get involved in volunteer activities early on.
During my senior year of high school I took a course in economics. This course was deeply informative and made me want to pursue this area of study further.
As an individual I am curious about the world around me and want to learn more about it. I then want to take what I learned and use it to improve society.
In my ideal world I think that people would appreciate each other's uniqueness and challenge each other to be the best they can be.
