Without question, there are hundreds of compelling reasons for anybody to want to attend an institution with the amazing pedigree of the Coast Guard Academy.

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop.

This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…
