ABOUT ME:
Hello World, I'm Mike Virgin, I am a senior at Tiffin University. I am currently pursuing my Bachelors Degree in Sports and Rec Management. I am from Vermilion, Ohio which is right on Lake Erie. It's a great town to drop anchor. I am the oldest of 5 children in my family, and the first one of the siblings to attend college. I recently completed my internship at the French Creek Family YMCA in Avon, OH as well as the Vermilion YMCA in Vermilion. It was very interesting doing my internship at two different YMCA. They do a lot of things different but both have one common goal. It was a great experience to see the day to day operations of what goes on behind the scenes when running a YMCA. So welcome to my blog and hopefully you enjoy reading about my experience as much as I did.
CAREER OBJECTIVE:
Right now, I would say I am at a cross road in my life. I have two options to choose from, but I think they will both lead me to the same place. My main career goal is to eventually work with a NFL football team, whether it be scouting, player personnel, or even being the GM and running the team. I love football, and I want to stay with in the sport. But to get there I will most likely have to go back to school. Right now I am in the process of choosing what school I want to get my Masters from, or to go to Law School. Both mean more schooling, but they will help me get to where I want to go.
