Steven is another VUB student who took advantage of the math refresher classes. He worked his way through both sections of Math 100 and then continued into upper level math. He doubled his study time and finished his last math class right before the holiday break so he could take the Compass and enroll in a required math class for college. “I not only skipped the Math 25 minimum, I was able to more than double my Compass algebra score and get into Math 124 which is required to graduate with a Culinary Arts degree from CWI.”
Steven joined the Air Force in 1993 as an aircraft weapons mechanic and loader. While on active duty, he was stationed at multiple bases including Kunsan AFB in the Republic of Korea. He also visited multiple countries including Germany, Iceland, Canada, Japan, and Saudi Arabia.
After getting out of the military, Steven returned home to Boise, Idaho. Here he has a wonderful girlfriend of two years and three amazing children, ages four to fifteen. “I want to thank everyone at VUB for being there for me and all of us other vets out there returning to school.”
