    I sat down by myself and reflected. After tens of thousands of hours of devotion, swimming has become a huge part of who I am, and will no doubt shape the person I will come to be. One of the earliest lessons swimming taught me was to never give up. When I was 9, swimming taught me to fight the fatigue during lap two of a race. When I was twelve, swimming taught me to attack race two with everything I had, even if race one hadn't gone my way.…

    In the United States, it is widely known that college tuition is expensive; so expensive that even already graduated students still have college debt. This issue has gone on for quite some time, but despite constant complaints concerning this, the government dismisses it and continues spending most of their money to upgrade the highest ranked military in the world. The United States government should spend less money on their already advanced military and more on paying students’ college tuitions. Providing for those fighting for our country is important, they give our generation the opportunities they deserve; however, more students want to receive a college education rather than draft into the military so the refusal to help those who struggle financially, in turn, takes away their opportunity to have the successful future they desire (Tomsic).…

    As a child, my love for the sea and the Navy had always been an inevitable part of my life. Growing up in Mystic, Connecticut with a Naval Submarine Base just a few minutes away from my house, school field trips to the base and seeing swarms of officers in uniform were the norm. Although none of my family members had ever served in the Navy, I was able to gain an “insider’s” perspective of what a healthcare career in the Navy was like because my best friend’s father was a dentist for the Navy. The primary driving force of me wanting to become a Naval Nurse Officer is because I want a fulfilling and promising career, where I am able to serve my country and help others. In an obvious sense, being a Naval Nurse Officer is an honor because I am able to serve my country; in a less obvious, more nuanced sense, being a Naval Nurse Officer also means that I am able to serve people all around the world.…

    By week two they were going under the water by themselves, and week three I didn’t even need to tell them what to do. For three years I watched the same group I started with at age three come in crying, and by age five they were swimming without me telling them to. I was sad to see them leave into the big pool, but each year I got a new batch of kids to work on. I knew as I got attached to the kids and that each day before swim lessons I would wonder who would show progress today. I knew I wanted to be a teacher.…
