My is Desmond Faison. I am 23 years old and I am from Hampton, Va. I am a Junior at Old Dominion University majoring in Information Technology. While at Old Dominion, I plan to form lasting friendships and career-related connections. I am also in the United States Air Force Reserves. My career field is Network Infrastructure Systems/ Cyber Transport System Technician. While in the military, I've been blessed with the opportunity to have traveled throughout the United States as well as the world. The military has instilled in me certain core values that I now incorporate in my daily life. Those core values being "integrity first, service before self, and excelence in all i do." It is these values that keep me focused on my career in the Air Force and my studies here at Old Dominion University. If you want to know anything else, jusk ask. Education is a never-ending obligation. My personal phylosophy of education is that it doesn't solely exist in a classroom. Education is something that has become highly structured, however, it also is something that people will do subconsciously and even by accident. Above all, I am a firm believer that self-education is the most important teacher we have. American writer and best seller Louis L Amour said "Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself.”  I too believe in this.  However, in today's society, a formal education is nearly necessary for other people to believe in a person's abilities and, sadly, it is by this that we judge a person's intelligence.
