He recently joined the U.S. Army ROTC program. Upon graduation, Brown will be commissioned as a second lieutenant. His dream goal is to design programs for top firms as an information technology specialist.
Jowers was last year named the Durham Teacher of the Year and accepted an assistant principal position at a nearby high school. According to a recent interview with his alma mater, he looks forward to the opportunity to hear the Commander-in-Chief.
“I want to take full advantage of this opportunity to talk with Congressman Butterfield,” said Jowers. “I want to hear about his views on public education and discuss the upcoming election.” He is also excited to hear Obama speak in person. “I’m bringing my camera,” said Jowers. “ I know there will be so much that I’ll want to capture.”
