Phillips as my college. The goals for my life are simple and they come from my Dad. As a little boy I remember my dad telling me “now son, I don’t care what you do just be the best you can be at whatever you choose to do.” As a young child I didn’t actually know what he meant by it. Years later I think I know what he meant by it, now that I have kids of my own. To move up in the military I need continuing education field, a degree, and professional knowledge. Going to college at a great location is a start to all of that. I have a goal to be an officer in the Navy someday. I meet all the requirements but one… that’s having a bachelor’s degree in some fashion. My goal is to be applying to the Navy’s officer candidate school in four years from now. Others in the military may say that is going to be hard, maybe impossible due to the fact I am in the military. I say let me try. I know that I am going to have long days and sleepless nights. Great bring them on! I started this semester at St. Phillips. A start; at improving mine as well as my families’ life. With choosing to get a degree plan which will help me get a bachelor almost anywhere the military sends me. Me getting a higher education I will be able to get paid more and the more I get paid the better I can provide for my family. I can get in to a Navy officer program opening doors, which as a little boy I would only dream about. I as a husband and a dad want to give my wife and children a life that, any parent/ spouse would want to give their family. That’s why I choose
