<p>I really didn’t want to live an average lifestyle. I want to do something with my life. I know it will be hard. I know how much of a hard time cadets have. But the vast sense of accomplishment afterwards is what makes it all worth it. There is no point in living if you can’t feel alive.</p>
<p>And as to why I chose the Air Force Academy as opposed to other service academies, I have been interested in everything pertaining to aeronautical technology my whole life, and I’ve always wanted to serve in the air force, and other things…it just fits me.</p>
