After the interview, I realized I had forgotten to ask if he would be prefer to go by Mike or Michael in the paper so I texted him and he replied with â€Å"the lord..haha.† Mike has a great sense of humor that helps him to connect with people and make themShow MoreRelatedMineral Resources18511 Words   |  75 Pages‘biotic’ or living parts of nature consists of plants and animals, including microbes.
