I have worked at the YMCA in kids stuff, youth development, summer power, camp spring lake and many more. I have also applied for a job with the special education paraprofessional with the Hastings Independent School District 200. But unfortunately, it went to another candidate. I love my job as well as working with children and youth.

I have been writing plays and screenplays since 2002. My very first play was called Sasha's Teenage Life back in 2002. Tyler Perry "A Diary of a Mad Black Woman the play", and William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" inspired me to write many years ago. I also had written many news articles for the newspaper when I was in 11th grade at Argo Community High School in Summit, Illinois.

As well as submitted my play to a publishing company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with an encouraging rejection letter. I am in the process of self-publishing all of my plays and screenplays on smashwords.com.

My written Will.

I do envision myself having bookstores for plays and scripts only. I would like all of my plays to sell well just like books are, as well as making it on the New York Times #1 best seller. Just like New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis, is known for theatres; Los Angeles are known for movie making studios, and Iowa City, Iowa is known for The City of Literature, I want Hastings, Minnesota to have self-publishing companies for plays, book stores for plays and scripts, and ultimately, to sell many of my plays and scripts until they are sold out just like books. That is my dream. I will be the best writer and playwright not only in America, but throughout the world. Furthermore, I would like my plays to be recorded so that people could listen to them like audiobooks and/or people could have access to my plays via ebooks.

I want June to be national Mikos Milan Mitchell month as well as June 11th to be Mikos Milan Mitchell or To Bad Mik Day. I want schools and Universities to study (Me) Mikos Milan Mitchell like William Shakespeare. I want my plays to be checked out at school and local libraries as well as online libraries to download or read ebooks long after I perished. In other words, I would want people to remember me for who I was as well as, keep my plays and screenplays by reading and have Mikos Milan Mitchell festivals. I want my dorm at the University of Iowa and Iowa City to be named Mikos Mitchell Hall, Cambus to be named Mikos Route, a street in Iowa City named Mikos Miltchell Ave, and a museum in Davenport Iowa on 7th and Farnam (My old Apartment) named after me. Finally I want to have a scholarship named Mikos Milan Mitchell worth amounts from $10,000-$50,000 scholarships in my honor. Furthermore, I want to donate money from royalties and from my plays or movies to charities and give it to my girlfriend Heather Lynn Carlson. I would want my girlfriend and professional writers and editors to take over my company and corporation Mikos Milan Mitchell company long after I perished.

My other dream is to build a museum so that all of my handwritten rough drafts of my plays, my typed drafts, my final drafts of my plays, and my rejection letters to be on displayed just like artists from art galleries. Last but not least, for my living will, I would want to be remembered as one of the best playwrights and screenwriters ever just like William Shakespeare, as well as other authors such as, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway; philosophers such as, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, John Locke, and much more. I don't want to be compared to Tyler Perry. I (Mikos Milan Mitchell) will be the most influential playwrights and screenwriters of the 21st century as, I want to be immortalize through all of my handwritten rough drafts in my Facebook groups, my You Tube videos, my final typed drafts, the plays like New York Times best-selling books, my plays on Wattpadd and blog.com and much more. There had not been nor will it be no one like myself (Mikos Milan Mitchell) like ever before nor ever again. I want to be remembered forever and I want people to read and perform all of my plays for many years to come, even long after I perished".
