[administrator]

Clarkston High School student Michelle Lee has achieved the highest possible acclaim for a high school student: perfect scores on her SAT and ACT tests. As reported on ClickOnDetroit - Michelle knew ahead of time what was needed to do so well on the tests. "One of the most important things beside preparation before the exam is during the exam. Time management was really important for me."

Michelle's parents are both immigrants and speak Korean at home. Because of that, Michelle said she was especially proud of doing so well on the English portion of the test. She said she was inspired by the work ethic she sees in her parents and has worked to emulate them.

Michelle is a member of her high school’s varsity golf team, plays the violin, is a National Honor Society member and volunteers regularly reading to elementary students in Spanish. She also takes advanced math classes at Oakland Community College and volunteers in the radiology department at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital.

Michelle is considering 13 colleges, including the University of Michigan and Stanford. She said she would like to become a diagnostic radiologist. Michelle said that has been her career goal since she was in the fifth grade.
