June 28, 2019
Michael Albrecht is battling Ewing's sarcoma, but that hasn't stopped the teen from working hard and helping others. Albrecht has spent much of his senior year undergoing treatment at Seattle Children's Hospital, so when it came time for the U.S. presidential scholar to graduate, Albrecht still got to celebrate: the hospital set up a livestream of the ceremony and his older sister walked across the stage for him. "I'm not leaving my life behind just because I'm in the hospital," he said.
