Michael_Knorr


 * What is your name?** Michael Knorr
 * Where do you graduate from?** First Academy in Leesburg Florida
 * Where did you grow up?** Leesburg Florida for my entire life
 * What made this time a memorable experience?** I attended Fun in the Son in Jekyll, Ga. 2009
 * Who was involved?** My youth group at the time which consisted of 5 people.
 * What were you doing?** Learning about and worshiping God.
 * What emotions were you feeling?** I felt awakened. I had felt distant from God for quite some time and it was the first time I truly ever felt close to God.
 * What sights, sounds, and smells do you remember?** It was on the beach so obviously the waves. I've gone back a second time and I really remember the beach at night with the full moon. One of the best parts was 1000+ chrisitians just worshiping God and jamming out with the band on stage.
 * What did this experience mean to you?** It was a good chance to really connect with God. Like I said at that time in my life I felt pretty lost, but since then I've felt pretty clost to God. There were a few occassions where i didn't feel so close, but God would quickly call me back and help me get my life in line.
 * What do these stories say about you as a person?** Well you can see that my life's focus is on God. I have no greater purpose and my relationship with him and other people's relationship with him is constantly at the forefront of my mind.
 * What personal characteristics did you display?** I was a follower at that point just soaking in the message, but I went back the next year and actually led a group of my own encouraging them in their faith and explaining that the spiritual high of camp wears off when you go home, and if they were new chrisitians that they need to build a line of accountability with the friends they had made. It was nerve wracking to teach as I was only a year older than some, but it was a lot of fun. :)
 * What matters the most to you, for example, family, friends, work, and so forth?** God's will. I mean i'd love to say I always listen but I fall short. It doesn't matter if it's friends or family what matters most to me is that I have fun and that I'm there for them when they are in need. I work hard and of course I'd like to make a decent living, but that's not the most important thing. Money can't buy happiness. I'm the happiest when I'm just hanging with good friends. :)
 * What motivates you?** I'm motivated by this hope I have that this all has a bigger purpose. I'm motivated by others pretty easily just the idea that I'm building something more.
 * What are your special attributes, talents, and gifts?** I'm unafraid of rejection and of failure. I'd call that a pretty decent gift. :)
 * What have you done that you are proud of?** I'm proud of the social media marketing department I started and built at That Company. I'm proud that I was able to identify a service we could offer, sold it, and serviced it. It's grown quite a bit and I'm constantly learning. I love it. :)
 * What are you good at?** I'm good with computers. I've never programmed before, but I generally get things pretty quickly after I'm shown the first time.
 * What are your hobbies and interests?** Social Media Marketing, I love sports football is the best of them all, hanging with good friends, I enjoy making things more efficient in general.
 * What do you value most about yourself as a person?** I'm well satisfied with my intelligence, my confidence, and of course my good looks. XD
 * What is your experience with programming/problem solving?** I've never programmed before. I've played with macros which is good fun, but that's through a previously developed user interface. I'm pretty good at problem solving I tend to see the simple answer which some overlook, but sometimes I think about it to simply.
 * What is your usual role in a team? Leader or Follower?** I like to lead but i know when to follow. You gotta be 50/50. If I feel the person I'm working with is as equally informed with what we're doing then I'll easily listen and follow them, but if they don't really get it I end up wanting them to follow me.
