Why I take SC 200

Hello, My name is Thomas Ward. I am from Alexandria, Virginia, and a recent graduate of Bishop Ireton High School. I took this course for several reasons. I think science is interesting and my counselor suggested it as a good class to take. I also believe that learning how to frame a question or issue is a good skill for any major. Finally, I didn’t want to take Spanish.

I am not a science major because I already have an idea of what I want to do. I want to be an accessibility specialist. I want to learn about systems that help people with disabilities gain access to information. While my education will have a science component, I really need classes across a lot of majors to be prepared for my career. I would like to eventually work somewhere like the Target Center at the USDA (http://www.targetcenter.dm.usda.gov/about-TARGET). The Target Center houses all of the assistive technologies available to federal government workers.

I am looking forward to this semester and learning how to better frame a research.
