A Somali boy reading the holy Quran !

    Hello, and thank you for visitng my homepage.  I hope you had a wonderful experience and gained enough knowledge about my topic.  My name is Warsame Jama.  I was born and raised in Somalia, Mogadisho.  I came to the United States when I was sixteen years old for studies.  Therefore, I have not gone back to my hometown since then due to a six year civil war.  Currently, I am a first year graduate student at the American University, majoring in Computer Science and Information Systems.
 
    I have always liked to learn more about computers throughout my life.  However, this class has provided me with the opportunity to interact with computers very frequenlty (hands on training).
It is the first time in my life where I applied my knowledge and interest by designing a hypermedia text.  At the begining I had a difficuilt time understanding and designing my hypertext project; however now it is very easy for me to update and maintain my project.

        It is very interesting for me design a web page about a topic in which I can learn how different  species can interact with one another and with their environment in order to stay alive. One of the  main reasons why I studied biology as an undergraduate was to learn more about the interaction  between species and their environment; therefore, the relationship monarch butterflies have with
milkweeds and viceroy butterflies demonstrate well this type of interaction.

    Also, since I have taken Ecology five years during my undergraduate years, I have learned a lot about Monarch butterflies.  As I mentioned in my previous pages, Monarchs are type of butterflies that are only found in North America and they fly long distance during their migration to the South and Norht and vice versa.  This also keeps them very unique than the rest of the butterflies.

    In short, my plan for the future is to expand my hypertext project into more personal hoppies, such as music, tennis, shopping and of course politics.  I would like my homepage to be a place where people who share all these hobbies with me can drop by whenever they feel like.
