    Everyone knows me as the 16th president of the United States, but what people didn’t know was that I studied war strategies in order to become a successful Commender and Chief to the United States Military. I also consulted with my trusted war adversaries in order to insure that I was making the right decisions for Americans. The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states, over the power of the national government to forbid slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. After I won the election as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South left and formed a new nation.…

    I have a strong desire to become an officer in the United States Navy. To achieve this goal I wish to be accepted into Officer Candidate School where I will later graduate with a commission as an Ensign.

    Prior to beginning the masters of occupational therapy program it was as if I was an ancient wanderer in the dark ages, eager to learn new ideas and discover new places not sure what the world would throw at me next. Over the next eight years I found myself at a series of personal crossroads one encounters during life’s journey. Not the crossroad where one sells their soul to the devil for some magical power. It was more of one of those forks in the road, a kin to the Robert Frost Poem, where one path leads to life A and the other leads to life B. Crossroads that impacted my future, shaped who I am and my character, influenced life changes, which led to a transition that will influence me and my family for generations to come. I come from…

    I served in the 2nd Infantry Division Headquarters two years as an administrative assistant.
