How would participating in the BLAST program impact my life? To be honest with you, it would impact my life in more ways than I can possibly think of off the top of my head.

Aviation is one of my favorite fields of science. My father flew B-52s in the Air Force during the Vietnam War, and my Mother ran the Aviation supply in the Marine Corps. My Mother also went to the United States Naval Academy, which is known for its engineering. Hopefully, if accepted into this program it will help me get accepted into the Naval Academy like my Mother. I’m also an active member of my school's robotics team. Through this program I have learned a lot. I am hoping to learn how to code and program a robot in the future. Our team competed in the First Tech Challenge Competition held this year at Norfolk State University.3 I will be able to take a STEM course next year. But I have spent much of my time after and during school in the new STEM Lab learning and creating. I find it fascinating that I can create something on a computer monitor and then have it created in a 3D printer.4. Another one of my major interests is band and I am very good student in that class.

    Before the summer of my sophomore year, I had not thought about my post high school plans beyond knowing I would like to attend college. However, I attended a STEM camp at Valparaiso University in Indiana where I met former astronaut and Naval Academy graduate, Ken Ham. He inspired me to not only begin my own flight training, but to start investigating the Naval Academy. The more I learned about the Naval Academy and the different opportunities that serving as an officer in the military presented, the more determined I became to attend. I understand that the decision to attend a service academy is not to be taken lightly.…

Then when landing being able to see the flaps and most of the wing separate mechanically to different locations in order to slow down and land properly amused me and I think seeing that just added to my passion for airplanes and aviation. This has made me desire to attend flight school eventually to learn all about the principles and physics of flight. From what I have researched I would most likely attend Mountain City Aviation because the staff are friendly and educated it is close to where I live and I have heard of some great success stories from their training. I love to travel and in the future I hope to travel to many places or do some sort of missions work in different areas of the world.…
