A little Q&A with Salisbury Senior Michael Tiao

A little Q&A with Salisbury Senior Michael Tiao


What is your full name?

Michael Lung Tiao


What are your hobbies?

I enjoy listening to music, writing stories, playing piano, and playing video games. I also love riding my bike whenever the weather is nice.


Do you have any pets?

I have no pets, but I would love to have a dog!


How would your friends describe you?

Funny, caring, chill, strange (but in an endearing way). Honestly, I’m not great at coming up with adjectives.


What is your favorite subject?

I love math as a whole, but physics is also up there in terms of enjoyment when it comes to learning the subject.


Who is your favorite teacher and why?

My favorite teacher is Ms. Reinecke. She’s a large reason why I’ve taken at least one music class every year of high school, and her sarcastic humour never gets old. At the same time, she’s very caring for her students and in my eyes, a very good music teacher. 


What is your favorite Salisbury memory?

I have a terrible memory, but honestly my favorite Salisbury memory was auditioning for the musical my sophomore year. I was scared out of my mind, but going out of my comfort zone to try something new that I would eventually come to love is something that I’ll never forget.


What is your favorite movie?

Shrek 2. Don’t question it.


Who is your role model and why?

My role model is my mother. She’s very patient and levelheaded, never jumping to conclusions or getting heated easily. She’s also extremely smart and very talented in many things, such as singing and drawing. 


What’s next after graduation?

Nothing is certain yet, but I will definitely be attending either Penn State University or Lehigh University.
