About Me Homepage Homepage I am Michael Burnett and I am a senior at Kellam High School. I will be attending Virginia Military Institute in June to wrestle and get an applied mathematics degree. I plan on commissioning with the Army and being a Ranger. Surfing and wrestling make me who I am as a person today and they are my outlets where I can express myself. I have an awesome, supportive family with my mom, Penny, my dad, Fred, and my brother, Jason. I am very into volunteering for Special Olympics because my brother has Down Syndrome and it means the world to him to see people there for him.Kellam High SchoolVirginia Military Institute ArmySpecial Olympics
Dear Reader Homepage Homepage Dear reader, This portfolio is revealing me as a writer for you. I am going to show you my attempts from elementary school where I had just as hard of a time writing it as you probably will reading my hand writing. Then I will take you through my rough but almost there writing of middle school. It is not very creative but I tried my hardest. Then you will see the big difference that took place in high school where I learned techniques and got a little more creative. I think you will easily be able to see the transformation and I hope you enjoy this display of my forward progress as a writer.
