<p>My older brother really wanted to go to West Point, but ended up somewhere else on ROTC. Now, I’m into the Naval Academy (which I think I subconsciously persued more zealously because it would be different from what he wanted), and he doesn’t even want to come to I-Day. We’re not extremely close (we’re both close with our parents, but he acts like I’m a bug on the wall), but come on! This is once in a lifetime. Not to mention that I went to EVERYTHING he had to do when he went to college. It just kind of hurts that he doesn’t care enough to see how the other half lives - considering he didn’t even apply to the Naval Academy, it’s not that I’m trying to throw it in his face (which I think is what he thinks). I really just want our family to have a couple more days together since family time will be so sparse in the future.</p>
