Mikal's Story
Hello! Long time since you have seen or heard from me. I graduated middle school and went on to Therrell High where I became the Head Drum Major and studied Law and Government. I then went on to graduate in 2001. I attended Bethune-Cookman College and joined the military. I am now currently a Staff Sergeant in the US Army, a well known poet, spoken word artist and youth motivational speaker. I am single with no kids... Can you believe that? Currently in the process of publishing my first poetry book and a series of children's book. Hope to speak with you all soon.
What is the purpose of retaining the lesson taught by mistakes when you gain only the sense to make the mistake again. -Mikal
