Lloyd Williams ( born June 18,1939) is a Public Health Inspector employed by New York City Deportment of Health since 1998. This job is my real dream job, my work place, the five boroughs of New York. Each and everyday I encounter many different faces,and places many of the faces you would love to encounter again and some you want to forget immediatley. My duties includes conducting inspections of residential / commercial dwellings, vacant lots, parks,and government properties in response to reported complaints. Provides counseling and instructions to property owners on remediation of violations and maintaining a healty envionment.
Williams was born in Trinity Ville, St. Thomas Jamaica to Mavis and Raphael Williams. Went to Morant Bay High school and then served in the Jamaica Constabulary Force in the canine division. Worked all over the island as a drugs enforcement officer at the airports and major shipping terminals. After six years I wanted to move on to bigger and better things so I migrated to the USA. in 1983.
After leaving the police force I decided to go to Yale University, an Ivy League college in New Haven, Connecticut, and one of the most renowned universities in the world. More than 11,000 students from the U.S. and 108 other countries attend the institution. The charter for the school was granted in 1701 and it was renamed Yale in 1718.
I am happy with the decision I made to attend Yale, and will readily admits that graduate study is not a walk in the park.
The academic program is very challenging, and it was extremely humbling to realise what was required of me. It was a real shock and it took a long time for me to get over the initial experience. Graduate school is tough the expectations are very high. But there are vast resources here and I have had to challenge myself.
Unlike MSU, Yale has a much larger international student body with a large white and Asian community. In fact, international students make up 16 per cent of all the students at the university.
The new environment at Yale and the academic demands on my time have somewhat curtailed the extra-curricular activities that were so much a part of my undergraduate life at MSU. And in any case, graduate work, is very isolating.
I'm very involved with my church, the Refuge Temple Church of God, and has been strengthened by my association with other believers there. I has given much of my time to the church.
My faith in God is just as strong as it has ever been I am in a new environment and facing new challenges.These beliefs and values helped me to succeed and stay focused at MSU and they are helping me now.
I will complete my Ph.D. in environmental science in 2010. After that, I expects to return to Jamaica where I feel I can make a significant contribution to the island's development
