Welcome To Michael's Home Page
The following is an immensely small look inside the mind & life of an eighteen year old ready to take on the world. He has a multitude of interests varying from paganism to the business world. In five years, he sees himself working not only as a stenographer, but a real estate agent as well. He plans on investing in mutual funds, working hard, and applying himself in every aspect of life.
What is the meaning or story of your first name & middle name?Michael comes from the Hebrew name, Mikha'el, meaning "who is like God?" This of course is a rhetorical question, because no man is like god. Michael is one of the seven archangels in the Hebrew tradition, and the only one to be regarded as an archangel in the bible.
What is your favorite memory of high school?My favorite memory from high school would have to be arriving at the point that I am currently at in my business life. Through the Co-Op program, I've been given the opportunity to work in the field that I actually want to go into when I get older. Since August 5, I've worked at Ralph Roberts Realty, and I look forward to staying with this company for a long time. I plan on getting an associate degree of business to build a solid foundation for going into real estate.
If you could spend an hour with any person who ever lived, who would that be? Why that person? What would you ask?
If I could spend an hour with any person who ever lived, it would probably have to be Adolf Hitler. This may seem to be an unusual choice, but I would choose him because I'd want to understand why he had such a hatred for Jews. My mother lived in Poland until she was nineteen years old, and the entire time, it was under soviet rule. Although my mother was never in a concentration camp, she was very close to where all of this happened.
What do you believe is more important, education or experience?
Personally, I believe that having an equal amount of education and experience is imperative to learning. Some people are either very book-smart and lack street smarts, and vice versa. Having the ability to develop a great deal of both education and experience will put you further ahead than others in a variety of different areas in life.
What do you think is your greatest strength?
I believe that my greatest strength is my ability to adapt to my environment. I've recently found out from work that I am very capable of adapting to different duties, and with flying colors. I think that this is a very good quality to have because it opens many doors for individuals able to master and articulate this skill.

What motto or quote do you live your life by?"Look deep into nature, and then you'll understand everything a little better." This quote has always been a favorite of mine because it is more thought provoking than almost any other quote I've read. Although nature doesn't physically speak to you, it can make you come to sudden realizations about pivotal events currently unfolding in your life that you may have questions about.
Name two things you would like to achieve within the next decade or so?Within the next decade or so, I hope to be an immensely successful stenographer and/or real estate agent. I plan on going to school full time while still working, although this may prove to be very stressful. Additionally, I'd like to be comfortably living on my own by this time as I like having my own personal space.
What is your one achievement that you are most proud of?
One of the achievements that I'm most proud of is balancing my schoolwork, working five days a week, and seeing friends whenever I can. Although I don't have social life in almost any capacity, it is worth it. Despite the fact that I was able to handle such an immensely hectic year, I was not able to make it on time to my first hour a good portion of the time. The fact that I have trouble sleeping sometimes has been a small trade-off for being able to handle everything as well as I have.
If you could be trapped in a TV show, movie, or book for one month, which would you choose and why?
If I could be trapped inside any television show, I would definitely have to say that I would choose to be trapped in American Horror Story. I chose this because there is something new going on constantly. Also, each season is independent of one another when it comes to the plot, so anything could be in store for me. I could face serial killers, ghosts, psychiatric patients, zombies, or a coven of witches.
If you could wake up every morning and look out your bedroom window to the perfect view, what would the view be like?
If I woke up every morning to look outside at a perfect view, I would be completely zen. I would look out my window to see roaring waters flowing on the side of my house. My ideal view would be a secluded place in the woods where i could just sit, meditate, and reflect upon my life. This would be perfect for me, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to be a hundred miles away from any other signs of life.
