Since this is my first blog I figured it would be best to talk about my life. My name is Mickey Fennell and I am from Charleston South Carolina. I was born in Myrtle Beach but after only a couple of years my family moved to Charleston. My family is a super close knit family, I have two younger sisters mean the world to me. My mom and dad are both amazing people who make me the person I am by encouraging me to do my best everyday. As a child I grew up playing baseball (which boy didn't) and I lived to play and watch the game. As I got older I realized baseball wasn't exactly my thing. I had to try a new sport so I could stay active, so I tried swimming and I fell in love. I swam for 5 years and I wouldn't trade them for anything. It taught me leadership and people skills but most importantly it taught me how to dedicate my self to something. Swimming also helped me discover my passion for people. Being around people helping them become better and more successful is what wakes me up in the morning. I am a super positive person, I think every day is a great day and you should do everything a 130% because everybody already does 110% so you have to step it up. Through high school the University of South Carolina was my dream school. I grew up a Gamecock fan and I plan to go out that way as well. As quick as high school passed it was an amazing time filled with memories and friends that will last a life time and as I sit here and write this blog for one of my first college classes it is almost mind boggling how fast time has gone. It seems like just the other day I was in 8th grade doing algebra 2. At USC I want to become super involved which is why I am doing residence hall government, I applied for freshman council, and I am hoping to get involved in the business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi. As this next chapter of my life begins I am super excited and I hope to just stay sane but I think I am ready for any obstacle that comes my way!.GO COCKS!
