Personal Narrative: My Experience At The Naval Academy

To attend the United States Naval Academy has been a dream of mine for a while, due to the prestige of attending such institution. the Academy offers many things that cannot be had at many universities, such as becoming an officer after graduation, summer programs aboard navy ships, and a structured schedule. To be able to attend an institution such as the Naval Academy is a goal of mine because of the opportunity it offers. The main reasons I want to attend the Naval Academy is because of the majors they offer, the experience of being a Midshipmen, and the opportunities after graduation.

I would like to attend a military academy because I would like to be the best that I can be, while at the same time, serving my country. Education at the AFA is comparable to the best universities in the country, including my prospective major, Astronautical Engineering; so, the service academy is an excellent academic choice for me. Additionally, only the best-of-the-best attend these academies, and being surrounded by such great people will be terrific to make new friends and network.

Another reason I am so drawn to St. Scholastica is because it is widely renowned for its academic excellence. I have always placed high value on all things academic, and I know that attending St. Scholastica would allow me to continue to uphold such values. I also know that in addition to a great learning enviroment, St. Scholastica has an amazing community aspect to it, which is important to me since I grew up in a very tight-knit

I have been accepted to AFS-USA's international exchange program to Norway. I will be spending my sophomore year living with a host family and going to school at a local upper secondary school. I am awaiting the information regarding where I will be located in Norway, as well as my paperwork for a Norwegian visa. As long as the final stages of my application go through, I will depart this August and return the following July.

I was walking down the hallway on my way to lunch when I saw people with a paper in their hand, curiously I walked up to my friend and said “what’s that?” my friend asked “NHS” I didn’t immediately panic, because I thought maybe I would get mines later on, as the day went on, heart became to explode with disappointed, erupting when the bell rang and i realized that it was official Malik wouldn't be a member of Nhs.

To society I seem to be very talkative on the other hand I can be intelligent. For example was in National Honor Society, had above average grades, I was very outgoing and did a lot of sports and clubs throughout the years. People would also agree that I always have been very clumsy. In general people would say I am not an overall serious person.

Although I have been faced with a number of obstacles that have changed me as a person

My high school requires twenty-five service hours each year of high school in order to graduate, plus an additional fifteen to be involved in National Honor Society. While this may make all of the community services I have participated in sound like a mere school requirement, it is actually the complete opposite of that. Without those school requirements, I am not sure how involved I would be in my community. But due to them, I am always involved in some way.

Over the 47-month experience, that is West Point. The Academy attempts to instill many valuable attributes and qualities into every Cadet. However, at the end of the 47-month experience, West Point believes that all of its graduates have instilled in them the proper values and knowledge to be able to accomplish all eight of the West Point Leader Development system outcomes. While my time at west point is not yet complete, I believe that I am well on my way to develop all eight outcomes. So far, the outcomes that I have developed the most at West Point are live honorably and build trust, and seeking balance and resilience.

I want to attend the United States Air Force Academy because I wish to serve my country as a member of the U.S. Air Force in a position of leadership. By attending the Air Force Academy, I can prepare myself to become a valuable addition to the Air Force, while also attaining one of the best educations available. At the academy, I have the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest that our nation has to offer. Furthermore, access to the newest and most sophisticated equipment and world renown professors would allow me to work with other cadets to create and innovate technology designed to benefit the Air Force and Americans as a whole. At the academy, I can continue to learn and build upon the leadership traits I have developed while balancing and challenging myself by taking honors courses in school, playing varsity athletics, holding two leadership positions in AFJROTC, and working multiple jobs as a lifeguard and swim instructor. Additionally, I can discover and conquer more complex academic and physical challenges that I had only begun to face during my time as a high school student.

The day was Thursday, March 9th. The time was 10:45 a.m. Amid my engineering class fifth period I was exceedingly enthusiastic about my trip to the Naval Surface Warfare Center where I would shadow a profession that I was particularly interested in. My father picked me up at around eleven o’clock to drive me into Philadelphia to meet up with the man that I was shadowing.

I joined the Marine Corps looking for a challenge. I wanted to open doors for a new career and longed to have a positive impact on the world around me. Looking back five years later, I realize I found all that I originally sought, but I’ve also found something profoundly satisfying and meaningful that I never knew I was missing.

Several months, I have been tossing the idea about joining the Navy. My family was aware about Navy was possibility option. Recently, I have contacted a Navy Recruiter, and I have not told my family about me talking to a recruiter. My family is important aspect of my life, so the conversation needs to happen sooner than later. When I bring up the Navy conversation, my intention would ease my family in acceptance of their daughter leaving the state. Joining the Navy would impact me and my family, and the impact on my family would tribute to the difficult conversation. In following joining the Navy would impact me and my family, and the impact on my family would tribute to the difficult conversation. Underlie feeling have huge impact on person’s attributions and judgement. A difficult conversation affects the identity of a person. Therefore, intention by the conversation was important.

All my life I have been surrounded by family with naval service ties. My grandfather served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and my Uncle went to the academy, so it was not shocking that I, myself also was interested in the Naval Academy, but more importantly serving my country. I chose to pursue the Naval Academy, because I want to challenge my body and mind further than they have ever been before but also to give back to my country. I really fell in love with the school in 7th grade, when I visited the campus and learned all about the history and tradition. I was told all about plebe summer, which to some would drive some people away, but for me it, I got hooked. The idea of suffering 8 weeks with your future comrades and sharing in the

It was the last day of military school at the prestigious HogHaven Academy. It was a bright, hot as the surface of the sun day, also known as a regular day in the desert. The recruits were celebrating at the annual ceremony to recognize their hard work. There was three young hog brothers, Hogart, Hogan, Hogsley, that each were about to graduate. Each of them aspiring to be a general, all were eager for the ceremony to end. When the ceremony came to an end, each hog would start, building beautiful forts, going to war, and more. When the ceremony ended, they each would be considered a general hog. Their job was to defend against attacks from the warring Shadow-Wolf Clan. Each brother hog each would go their separate ways. (Each hog scared
