<p>Leadership and Sports!!!
I can’t say it enough! Very important to Westpoint! (along with intelligence) My son wanted to go to West Point early on. Went to USMA’s SLS in Junior year. All he could say was “WOW”, what an experience! He said he’s never seen more brilliant, athletic, strong, talented kids in all his life. He was blown away! He loved it. He got a taste of how hard it is, even though everyone said it was “sugar coated” for the summer camp. By the beginning of Senior year, he decided that he wanted a “normal” college life so he blew his chances at getting any nominations (lazy). Even without his nominations, to date, they are still after him. They have offered him the moon: full scholarship to his school of choice…Blah, Blah, Blah. Being a Mom, of course, I’m petrified about him going in the service but I can say with all my heart that West Point would’ve given him everything and more than an IVY. It would’ve made him a leader among leaders!</p>
