Plans
My future plans include the honor of serving in the US military. For this reason, I’m considering either attending a service academy or joining ROTC at a traditional university. I’m in the process of applying to several summer sessions – USCGA, USNA, and West Point – so I can make an informed decision about which will be best for me. I like to be challenged both academically and physically, and either path will provide that. I plan to study business; I have an interest in entrepreneurship.
