..................

Name: Jean Michel, Jr.

Age: 23

Hometown: New Rochelle, NY

Undergrad: Hampton University, Marketing 

Graduate: Old Dominion University, MBA/Marketing 

What do you want to be when you grow up: 
Rich. Sucessful.  For real though, I have no idea what I want to be.  I have so many interests and aspirations, it's hard to pick one thing.  I just want to do something that I enjoy.  Right now, I'm doing this athletic publications thing.  It's a lot of fun.  I've learned a lot and the perks are great.  

Who Inspires you most:
Gotta be family first.  Without my parents, who knows what or where I would be.  Their countless sacrifices have put me in the best position to succeed, and I owe it to them to reach my full potential (whatever the hell that is).  Failure can never be an option.  A lot has been invested in me and I can't disappoint.  I know my younger brother looks up to me, so that's another source of inspiration to me.  Then you have my friends, the close few I grew up with at home, each one has had a hand in making me the man I am today.  Lastly, there's these clowns I'm blogging with.  Seriously, the potential of this braintrust is ridiculous.  You've got the total package here: creativity, artistry, intelligence.  When you're surrounded by all this talent and potential, you're bound to absorb some of it.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years: 
Retired on a beach in the Pacific.  I wouldn't mind being married w/a couple of rugrats.  I don't know what I would be doing nor do I care.  I want to be successful... doesn't have to be material... I just want to be doing something I love and be good at it.

What would you do if your dreams coulnd't come true:
If I couldn't do sports or business, I'd be a lawyer.  I always wanted to be one as a child, and my family thinks I have a knack for making winning arguments.
