Why I came to the Academy: ?I came to the Academy because of the incredible opportunities not available at any other college. I could not think of any other school where I would get a top-notch education, learn to fly, parachute and play baseball. Finally, looking down the road, I wanted to make sure I had a secure job once I graduated from college and I could not think of anything better than being an officer in the most elite Air Force in the world.?

My plans for the future: ?My goal is to someday become an F-22 or C-21 pilot. If flying does not work out for me, I would like to go into finance and acquisitions or intelligence. Someday I would like to pursue a master?s degree in business administration with the long term goal of becoming a corporate executive.?
