\u201cNow that I\u2019m thinking about it, I realized that if not for dentistry, I would not be in America<\/em>,\u201d he told Vogue Philippines. \u201cBecause the main purpose of me coming to America is to do dental school.

Although he said his relationship with his coach, Michael, was \u201cperfect,\u201d he admitted he was \u201cintimidated by him\u201d at first. \u201cI was intimidated by him because he\u2019s my idol, I always sing his songs back home,\u201d Sofronio said.<\/p>\n
