WELCOME! 

I am passionate about pursuing a career as either an aerospace engineer or a pilot. My interest in aviation began at a young age when I was introduced to planes and different types of aircraft. This early exposure sparked a lifelong desire to work in a field related to aviation, particularly within the military. My involvement with the Civil Air Patrol has broadened my perspective on the range of opportunities across various military branches. I am deeply inspired by individuals who selflessly risk their lives to help and save others.

To achieve my goal of becoming an aerospace engineer or pilot, I have actively participated in the Civil Air Patrol, which has provided me with valuable resources and guidance toward obtaining my pilot’s license. Currently, I have applied to the Cadet Wings program within the Civil Air Patrol—a unique initiative that helps young people earn their private pilot’s license at minimal cost.

I have taken first aid and Stop the Bleed classes in my area. Through my involvement with the Civil Air Patrol, I have learned valuable search and rescue methods, as well as wilderness survival skills. These experiences taught me how to use available materials to build shelters and create various search and rescue tools. I also realized that strong writing skills and physical fitness are essential for becoming a pararescueman, as you must be able to move quickly and document important details about each mission. Yes, I have participated in extracurricular activities. I recently joined the ROTC Drill Squad, which requires teamwork because you have to communicate with fellow cadets. Communicating also builds stronger team skills. Another extracurricular activity I do is Muay Thai and wrestling; both sports help build confidence and discipline that are useful in a work environment. Some activities that have helped me in my career choice are wrestling, Muay Thai, and Jiu-Jitsu. All of those have helped me over the years because I always like setting myself up for a challenge, and I feel like I would be a great participant to try and become a pararescue man. No, I have not been exploited. Most of my experiences have come from volunteer work in an area. I've served as a Junior Counselor at the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Youth Camp, mentoring young participants and supporting daily camp operations – further building my communication and leadership abilities.

Upon graduation, I plan to earn a full-ride scholarship to a good wrestling college that meets the requirements for the job of an aerospace engineer/Pilot. If these plans change within the year and things do not work out, I will enlist, pursue the officer route, and then advance to the specialty to become a pilot.
