: About Me

Hagana is a law/MBA student at Washington University in St. Louis. He expects to graduate in May of 2010. He is hoping to write a bestseller before then, so he doesn't have to get a real job. But he also enthusiastically welcomes any offers for employment, and would be a valuable addition to any firm/company/organization/rock band (keyboard). Hagana is a motivated self-starter with strong work ethic and interpersonal skills. He vehemently denies all accusations of plagiarizing that last sentence from a sample cover letter on the internet.

Hagana likes to spend his time at grocery stores, bowling alleys, bars, and the gym. Also, this is the first time he's written about himself in the third person, but he could get used to doing more of it.

This was a particularly compelling statement, considering that the 100m dash was only his second best event. Comparing athletes from different sports is always somewhat subjective, but one way to do it is to look at the gap between the top athlete in a sport, and his closest competitors. By this standard, Usain Bolt was ...
