My name is Thomas Henry Williams. I am a 24 year old student attending my final year at USU. I am from Logan, Utah. On August 19, 2010 I married Lauren White from Plain City, Utah. I love all sorts of animals, and have a cat and a gecko. I have swam most of my life, and I love it. I also love skiing, hiking, climbing, and skateboarding. I love to listen to music, and make music. I have been in a band named Buffalo the last 3 years of my life. Below is a link of us playing/singing a song.

I am studying Social Studies Composite Secondary Education at USU. The subject that I want to teach more than the others is geography and history, although my major certifies me to teach government, psychology, and sociology. I love geography because the earth is an amazing place with so much beauty. I love maps and and GPS, and learning about different cultures. I love history because I love stories, and thats all history is, millions of mini stories that make up Earth's history.
I never had a doubt that social studies was what I wanted to teach. Social studies courses were the ones that I always felt more inclined to, so it seemed only natural to teach social studies when I decided I wanted to teach. My father was a geography teacher, and he would always bring home maps, movies, and activities that he used in his classes, and this may be the reason I love geography so much.
