1. What is your favorite quote? What is your interpretation for this quote?

"The most beautiful experience is to meet the mysterious. This is the source of all true art and scholarly pursuit. He, who has never had this experience, is not capable of rapture and cannot stand motionless with amazement, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed."

-Albert Einstein-

All my life I've wanted to learn. When I was a young boy, I thought I just wanted to know things. Later I realized that my desire to learn was motivated by my interest in discovery. Knowing isn't as interesting as finding out. If you maintain your sense of wonder then life will always be fresh.

2. What college, you are attending or have attended? What is best or worst about the college?

I've been through the grind twice. My first time was the College of Naval Nuclear Engineering where I learned to operate and maintain nuclear power plants. My second time through college was at the University of Washington where
I learned physics.

The best and worst thing about college is that it's difficult.

3. What is your plan in the next 5 or 10 years from now?

I'm considering going to graduate school in Atmospheric Science but I'm not sure. Either way I'll continue to work for OMA and the Instructional Center.

4. What do you think of Upward Bound students?

The Upward Bound students are among the best that your generation has to offer.
You are motivated, intelligent and creative and I'm proud to be associated with you all.

5. If you got all the power in the whole world, what would you change about Upward Bound? Alternatively, if not. Then what would you change about the United State as a resident.

If I had all the power in the world I would make the politicians keep their word when they say that they support education. They all (Democrats and Republicans alike) have a dismal record when it comes to education.
