<p>My friends, teachers, coaches and whatnot knew for a long time I wanted to join the military and attend a service academy, so when they found out I finally got accepted (West Point and Navy Prep, but hoping to get into USNA directly with the addition of my January 2007 SAT score) they were really happy for me. Some of my friends didn’t really support my decision because of the whole war thing. But generally speaking, everyone I know has told me to “take care of myself out there”</p>
<p>Oh and yes, my parents do differ on where I should go- my mom favors army and my dad favors navy (neither were in the military). Yes I know it’s my decision, and as of right now, I haven’t made it yet. To give a hint to what I’m leaning towards, we’ll see how navy responds to those new SAT scores =)</p>
