went into it not thinking I had any chance at making it to the state level of competition. Once I had swam and placed very well I thought that there was actually a chance in me making it to the next level, which was something I had never seriously considered happening before then. I went all weekend without knowing if I had made it and then Sunday afternoon I found out that I had barely missed making it. This sparked something in me that motivated me to do everything I could to make it the next year
Who I am as a person has changed over the year I have attended the United States Merchant Marine Academy, however, the basis of who I am has remained the same. Being a Catholic-Christian is the base of who I am as a person. My one goal is to be a saint and at the end of the day, despite all my other goals, this is the only one that truly matters and never alters. My faith is what pushes me to be a better person, a better leader, a better follower. My whole life should be to the glory of God, and
Making mistakes is a huge part in life. However, making those mistakes can lead to a successful life. Learning those mistakes help me change to a different and a better person. I do believe this life lesson has come across in everybody’s life. I know that when you make the mistakes it causes to cry or be angry; however, in the end of learning from that mistake will have you smiling in the end.

For instance, when I tried out for the boys U15 Montco Alliance team. That spring my resilience was displayed because I had to work extraordinarily hard to achieve my goal of making the team. I put many hours toward my goal and finally received that email whether or not I was going to be a member of the U15 Montco Alliance team. One major setback, was the fact that there were 40 kids trying out for the 16 spots on the team, that greatly lessened my chances of making the team because so many other
was during my first year of University when I followed love on a journey that was not my own that I learned a valuable life lesson. A challenge harder than anything I had faced before was waitng on the horizon. I dropped out after getting married to my High School best friend who had enlisted in the United States Army. He gave me an ideal picture of traveling the world with someone who knew me, accepted me and loved me like no one else did. Instead was a person who started controlling me the minute

I recently obtained my Certified Patient Care Technician certification while in high school, which means I am certified
