MY PERSONAL LIFE MISSION STATEMENT: By Mike Gibson
To be a person that others look up to, not for who I am or for what I have done, but as an example of what they can become if they use their GOD given talents and the energies of the universe. I will do this by being a life long student of others I admire and respect and by passing on what I learn to anyone willing to listen. I will study and become a master communicator to make my message clear and effective and will achieve my life goals by helping others achieve theirs.
