I like the "voice" of your article. The writing would be stronger though if you didn't use so many passive sentences.

For example, right at the beginning you start out with "I am a great warrior." Terrific! a nice strong sentence. Then you write "I ''have'' fought countless battles." Not as strong a sentence. Active verbs are better than "have" verbs. ''"I '''fought''' countless battles. I '''sought''' to honestly deal with..."''

Ditch the passives and you have a really nice article. I look forward to your presentation [[User:Dekeo|Dekeo]] 21:20, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
