Why I came to the Academy: ?I came to the Academy to pursue an education that is unmatched, and because I know that when I graduate I will be set for life. I also came because of the sense of pride and accomplishment that I receive by knowing what I am doing for my country and myself. Also I came because the Academy provides the best shot for me to become a pilot.?

My plans for the future: ?I plan to major in management and to attend undergraduate pilot training after graduation. I want to be a fighter pilot more than anything.?
