| The right choice
It really is a shock. It hit me the other day that the countdown was no longer in months, but in days, and soon, in hours. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Reading the many things about the academy on this forum, both bad and good, and visiting the academy for myself, I definitely believe the benefits outweigh the flaws. I am very worried about the many obstacles plebes have to face, I have been briefed on that many times, but a mid told me there (a plebe at the time), "If I can do it, so can you". Those words really got me to think. If so many people can go and accomplish something that they really wanted to do, in this case, graduate from KP, then why can't I? I believe that with the right attitude, I can get through anything, and even when I'm not feeling that great, I know others will be there to help me out, which is very comforting to know. And of course, I will try to help any others that I can. Even though I have to focus on my own dreams, I understand that there are others who are sharing the same road to success, and only together can we achieve. I truly look forward to being at USMMA, and I wish the best for every candidate, and even the midshipmen, not only to accomplish their goals at KP, but in life as well. |
