Michael B

My name is Michael Barnett. I am a well-versed athlete who has competed in sports for most of my life, and greatly enjoy the feeling of winning a game or match. I am also a very shy person. I have trouble speaking in front of groups, especially when they are people that I don't know. When working in small groups of people I am able to be an effective leader because of my ability to be freethinking, and bring my internal ideas outward. I like to help people that are willing to be helped and I love the feeling of accomplishment. I pride myself on setting goals in everything I do. For example, as a cross-country runner I have set goals regarding to my time, which I would like to bring down below 22 minutes, and help my teammates make it to the state finals. In the near future I WILL complete the Chicago Marathon in under 4 hours.

In closing I'll leave you with a quote that I feel personifies my personality and links to my blogger, and twitter if you would like to learn more about me.
