Patrick Mills
Blog Post #1
Hello my name
is Patrick Mills and I was born in Brooklyn New York. I transferred here this spring after getting
my associates degree in the fall from my previous college. I am a currently a Sports Industry major here
at OSU. A lot of my time outside of
class is spent playing sports, drawing, cooking, and working out. I love pushing myself and surrounding myself
with people that will help me grow as person.
My future career plans consist
of two big dreams I have had for a while which are pretty opposite of each
other. One would might seem a little
weird to people but I would hopefully compete in some bodybuilding competitions
as a natural competitor. Although bodybuilding
is hard thing to do naturally now I hope to be able to achieve that goal and
also work in the business of bodybuilding whether it be training or designing
graphics for workout gear. The other
dream I have is to work as an animator/ imagineer for Pixar and The Walt Disney
World Company. Being able to be a part
of the story telling and artistry that is related to movies we all know would
be incredible. To think that I could
maybe one day create and help develop a movie that would put smiles on family’s
faces is to me a great feeling.
When asked the
question of what leadership experience made me who I am today a couple
definitely come to mind. One in
particular would be in the start of my freshmen year of high school with my
friend Logan. We decided to join the
Monmouth County Sheriff’s Departments Youth training program that was offered
in our town. It would serve to be one of
biggest leadership experiences of our lives.
We learned and trained just like recruits for the Sheriff’s Department. From being yelled at by drill instructors,
marching in sync, physical training, and many other aspects we were taught to
be leaders of ourselves and others throughout this program. After we graduated our first year we came
back for three more and in this time became leaders of our marching and PT
groups. Overall the Monmouth County
Sheriff’s Department training program has helped me find and become the person
I am today.
