My name is Travis Williams I was born in San Antonio Texas in 1970. I graduated High school in 1988 and joined the army where I spent 4 years in the 82nd Airborne and participated in operation Desert Storm. In 1992 I went back to San Antonio and joined the work force. I spent several years working as a veterinary technician before getting into home building. I then moved to Dallas Texas with my wife where we lived until May 2010. We decided to move to Boise to be closer to her sisters and she talked me into going back to school. My first semester of college was fall 2010. So here I am attending my second semester and seeking a degree in Biology.
I have been very fortunate to be able to assist the raptor grad students with there projects and hope to attend grad school myself one day.
Hi Travis: Biology seems like it would be an extremely interesting subject to study, and I'm wishing you the best of luck on your plans for graduate school. On a more personal note, my Dad served in operation Desert Storm as well, so I just wanted to thank you for your service with the 82nd.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a productive semester, and to seeing where your writing goes from here.
High School Equivalency Program
ReplyDeleteWhat does that mean? What does it do? Who is it for?
First off the HEP is a program implemented to help migrant and seasonal farm workers and there family obtain the skills necessary to gain a GED(General Educational Development) credential.
According to the website "Federal Register" www.federalregistar.gov the daily journal of the united states government. N.P. web 26 Oct. 2010.
There are several programs after HEP to assist individuals in continuing there education after obtaining there GED.
As I delve deeper into my research some of the questions I hope to answer is does the program work and to what extent. Also how many individuals utilize these programs and to what extent.
Hi Travis:
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your first extended bibliography entry. For future entries, post to the main page of the blog. (I addressed this during class today, so I'm not faulting you for having missed it.) You'll also want to refer to the unit one sheets for a bit more info about the information I'm looking for and the format it should be in.
I think you have some good initial questions to guide your inquiry, some of which we discussed earlier today. Keep it up!
