1. Tira J. Robinson Major: Biology Concentration: Microbiology Tennessee Tech University Cookeville, TN 38501

2. Major Concentration Assignment 1 My name is Tira Joyce Robinson. I am from Chattanooga, Tennessee; I attended Brainerd High School where I focused in the Health field. I started at TTU the Fall 02’. I am very clear what I want to take, I have made several changes but it was in the same field. When I started at TTU I majored in Pre-Medicine, but I changed fast to Biology Health Science, which I stuck with until the Spring 04’. I then changed to Nursing in the spring. I am still doing Nursing so when I graduate I will be able to go back to school for Nursing. This fall I recently changed back to Biology. So now I think I’m going to concentrate in Biology Health Science or either Microbiology. I feel I am really good in math, science and biology. I choose this field because it doesn’t focus much in English and I like that. My name is Tira Joyce Robinson.

I choose this field because it doesn’t focus much in English and I like that. After taking Anatomy & Physiology I really knew then that I would love to work with people to help them to feel better. Taking Health Science Microbiology took me in depth to becoming a professional in the medical field. I love working directly with people and catering to their needs. I want to be an impact on everyone I come in contact with.

3. Organization/Clubs Assignment 2 I am interested in joining Beta Beta Beta. But I don’t think I will be able to get into TriBeta. But I will still strive to do the best that I can. This will be a great experience and privilege to meet people in the same field and with the same interest. After researching this club, it really brought interest to me. But the chance of me getting on is rare. I am interested in joining Beta Beta Beta. But I don’t think I will be able to get into TriBeta. But I will still strive to do the best that I can.
