After high school, I plan to go to college and then join the Navy. My dad is in the Navy and is my inspiration for joining. My dad was a Navy pilot for many years. I plan to follow in his footsteps and become a pilot. I decided around the 8th grade, when I rode a fighter jet flight simulator. I knew instantly that this is what I wanted to do. 

I have taken numerous classes to prepare myself for college and the military, including multiple AP classes. Specifically, math will help me in whatever part of the military I end up in. This engineering class has helped prepare me for whatever comes next, as I will have learned the many engineering concepts and standards.

In our high school, I play football. Football teaches many important life lessons, such as toughness, discipline, being goal-oriented, and many others. Football has also helped me physically prepare, keeping me in shape, healthy, and active. I currently work at my neighborhood's pool as a lifeguard. I also run track to stay in shape and compete with others. This has taught me that focus is extremely important. If you lose focus while lifeguarding, someone could be injured or die.

After achieving my goal to become a working member of our armed forces, I hope that with the money I make, I can give back to my community and those in need. I hope to serve our country to keep our country safe and make the world a safer and better place.
