My name is Travis Howard Whitehead. I have four years of military experience as an
Infantry Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division (Army). During my enlistment, I deployed to
Iraq and served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After my
enlistment was complete and upon receiving an Honorable Discharge, I returned home to
Nashville, TN. My mother had recently been granted custody of my two nephews and asked for
my assistance in raising them. I accepted that duty and turned my gaze towards education.
Nashville State Community College is where I received my Associate’s Degree with Honors.
After which, I transferred to Tennessee State University. Tennessee State University was
established in 1912, a historically black institution due to the common practice of segregation
during that time. TSU is an amazing university located in Nashville, TN. During my
matriculation, I became immersed in the university’s rich ethnic and cultural background. I am
proud to have graduated with honors on May 4th, 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Science
