Jonathan Becker
Welcome to my Profile!
I'm a student at Iowa State University (currently a Senior pursuing a triple-major degree in Political Science and Philosophy, followed by Religious Studies).
I come from Kansas City, Missouri; from North Kansas City High School where I sought the International Baccalaureate Degree while maintaining a 4.0 Cumulative GPA and coming in 7th out of my graduating class of around 400+. Now I'm attending Iowa State with a cummulative GPA of 3.6.
I, as an individual, love to enroll myself in high-number credit loads and meet many students and staff in my department and others. My goal is to become a U.N. Diplomat and perhaps move on to teaching International Relations and Philosophy at a University.
That's a good summary of me. If you want to get a hold of me:
