Personal Information
1. I don't have a preference to what I like being called. Michael or Mike both is fine with me.
2. I am from Cleveland Ohio. Every picture that I have and try to upload says it is too small for the media file.
3. I would like to teach English at the High School level.
4. I am into sports I'm a sports fiend. What makes me special is very simple I try to turn all of my negative situations into positives ones. That is extremely broad but I've been through many obstacles in my life that I know many people around me would have either given up or stopped making process and through the blessing of God I was fortunate enough to keep pushing through.
5. My learning style is very simple. I am very hands on. I rather get out in the field and do it rather than sit back and hear a lecture. To take creative risks I don't believe it depends on my environment I more so put the pressure on me. It is on me to take a risk in class. I enjoy knowing about my classmates though it will speed up the opening up process.
6. My perception of me as a student is quite simple. I like stuff I can feel, something that hits the soul. When it hits the soul it is something natural. By it being natural and real I am already all in, you don't know what you'll get out of me from there. I am very critical on myself. I am my biggest critic. Someone may look at me and say I'm doing fine but to myself I'll be extremely hard. If I don't I know I would slack off so that is needed by me.
7. My experience as a student in high school was terrible. I was not the best student. I did not care about too much that was going on if it was not surrounded by football. Life hit me hard and I had to polish up. One thing that does stick with me is my freshman teacher told me just because you are from the hood doesn't mean you have to act like it. At that time I didn't understand because I was young & naive to life. He was getting at you could still have encounters with the city but make sure it is positive don't continue to act out in negative ways.
8. Somethings that concern me right now are extremely simple. These next couple years can set up the rest of my life. Now with that being said what am I going to do from there.
9. When things are hard what do you go back to? What are some of your biggest fears?
