Everybody has done something about which they are proud, whether it be winning a competition, sacrificing their time to helps others, or achieving a personal goal.

One of the most important extracurricular activities I have been a leader in is the JROTC program. This program has provided me with so many opportunities, whether it be to learn about myself or to serve others. For example, my involvement with the color guard helped me develop confidence in my abilities, and therefore helped me learn valuable leadership skills I would later apply to being commander of the team, then personnel adjutant, and ultimately battalion commander. Through being mentored and encouraged by others, I discovered I had the potential to be a leader. As a result of my involvement in the program, I have become more self-confident, and among other things, I have learned the importance of turning failures into success.…

Building a Cohesive Team through Mutual Trust…
As honors students, we thrive on achievements. Tangible achievements are what, for many of us, ensure that we have accomplished our goals.

Commanding Airmen overseas in combat and honorably representing the U.S. Air Force internationally has taught me to be a leader and a professional, qualities that have benefited me in and out of uniform.

There is not enough time in the day to complete or partially do my assignments and I am slowly learning to adjust to the hectic…

This Challenge would result in a complete change of direction in my career, my physical toughness, and my mental capacity to learn.…
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.…
