To me MIC means that I should be on the right track, to study my books and to read and write better. MIC means Mighty in Character. I am a very mighty person in my character. I love to come first in my class. I am a bright girl. I do not want to waste time. MIC also means to do the things that are right and loving. I like to share, and I respect everyone because I am respectful and patient. I am MIC.

The Melbourne and Michael Folkes Foundation has helped me to gain confidence. It will help me to be more outstanding. But first of all I need to find God. With the MMFF I will achieve my goals. The MMFF will help me to be obedient, honest and independent. The MMFF will create a brighter tomorrow for me. The MMFF will help me to excel and have the potential to maximize in what I do. I believe it will help me to do Godly good. The Foundation will help me to know God and it means I will succeed in my work.

Who is Patchy

Who is Patchy? In short, Patchy IS “Mighty In Character.” Neither proud nor ashamed, he is a little boy, blessed beyond his wildest dreams, who chooses always to view his cup as half full instead of half empty. 

He loves to share his positive outlook on life, as well as his many life lessons with others. In doing so, he hopes to become more enlightened. He hopes that by shining some light on life’s toughest issues and sprinkling those lessons with just a dash of humor, he can encourage others always to see even the negatives in life as opportunities to unearth the positives as well––and to live every single day Mighty In Character!
