The day when my school's NJROTC unit came to visit my middle school forever changed my life. I was estatic about becoming a cadet and serving my community.

George Washington and it's community will provide be with the tools and the opportunity to continue to actualize my capabilities as an academic and as a veteran leader. As I studied which colleges and universities I was planning on applying to, I couldn't help but reflect on the tough decision I made back in 2009 when I was choosing which branch of the military to enlist in. Those sleepless nights, weighing out the pros and cons of each branch. I knew how hard the Marines trained, that never distracted me from them. One thing that I have always known about myself, is that I have a characteristic that separates me from my peers.
The United States Army and West Point are dedicated to the respect of others and to respecting diversity. Each member of the Armed Forces is unique and his or her identity should be respected. Growing up as a military child, I have been exposed to all sorts of people and cultures that are different from my own. Furthermore, many of my classmates, teammates, and friends have come from different backgrounds and I have learned to work successfully with all people. From my experiences growing up around many different cultures of people and from working with them, I believe that I will be successful in working with any person at West Point and in the U.S. Army.

Time is the most valuable and limited resource on this planet. It can be wasted, but never recovered. For this reason, I have always aimed for the stars with my aspirations, and my career in addition to my academic goals are no less optimistic.

Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army. If it was not for the confidences and motivation of my recruiter back in 2005, I might have not made my leap and probably would not be in this uniform today. Becoming a member of the United States Army recruiting team means having a physical and mental toughness in order to perform efficiently.
The biggest reason I want to go into the navy is because it’ll keep me on a straight path throughout my life. After Researching the Navy I have decided to pursue this career.

After basic training is completed one will be taught technical or advanced training in the profession that they are interested in. There are so many types of training that anybody who joins could take and some even help for after one’s service is completed.
