Achievements
Carmichael has achieved considerable success in his life, but it has not been an easy road. As a teenager, he was arrested twice and failed the sixth grade due to a lack of supportive guidance. These setbacks, however, didn’t stop him, but rather set him up for success. He never lost sight of his goals no matter how difficult things got and now he is using his story to inspire youth to believe that “something better is always possible”.
Motivation
Motivated to make an impact and driven by purpose, Carmichael is passionate about helping students as well as adults realize their full potential and overcome personal obstacles so they can reach their goals. He always strives to leave both people and the world a little better than he found it.
