STATEMENT
The value of one's life works can be valued in many ways. One of the basic measures of one's life worth, is
to measure the positive effects in the lives of the people who life he has touched. Whatever one projects in
his life work, is the sum total of his training and experience. In my case the training and experience that I
got in my military career, enabled me to integrate my formal training in the College of Agriculture and
Rural Sociology into an approach to be an effective county agriculture agent, program specialist in small
farmer development, livestock and extension specialist in countries of Africa, Municipal Court Judge,
community leader in youth improvement programs, and the development of a special financial institution to
reach the needs of the undeserved people of the community. ROTC TRAINING AND THE INSUING
MILITARY EXPERIENCES, ENABLED ME TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ALL MY ENDEVORS.
