Mr. Hicks,

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to let you know that I plan on getting a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems with a background in network from the College of Business at the University of Texas @ Arlington. I also plan on getting my teacher certification in order to eventually become a teacher my first few years after graduation. I also plan on being an active member of BDPA.

Thank you,
Daniel Puente
