Name: Bishop Mikaelian

Social Media Handle/Username: NamezBishop

Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: My name is Bishop, I was born in Louisiana then lived in Mississippi and moved to Tennessee after Hurricane Katrina. I did karate for a couple of years but stopped when I was 9 years old bc I got diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor on my brain stem; I was treated with radiation and chemo but didn’t do much and I’ve had about 13 surgeries and over pneumonia 70 times. I turned to social media to get away from the real world, I had graduated high school in 2018 and decided not to go to college; I love to travel but I’ve never gone out of the States, if I could though I would want to visit the United Kingdom or Australia. I have a little obsession with buying candles. I was never a talkative person I was always shy and introverted unless I’m with friends and family. I’ve never really enjoyed listening to country music but will enjoy country-pop/rap 
I love watching football but going to an actual game is better. I have a phobia of uneven holes and public speaking so talking in front of the class at school sucked.
