Service Academies's Mission Statement

The honor of attending one of the Military Service Academies would be one of the highest honors to be awarded. To be afforded the opportunity to receive that type of education and training would give me the basis to meet my life goals. I have attended several excellent schools during my life and the mission statements have been "Work Study Worship" and "Service Honor God and Leadership" these have been engrained into me and I believe they have prepared me for a life in the Military. My mother has worked serving the children and families in our State and ensured I received the best education possible. I have always volunteered to help with the Foster Children and those less fortunate during the holidays and to help support the Community.
I do not have work experience outside my family as my mother was a single parent and I was responsible for caring for my younger brother until my mother came home from work and during the summer. We made sacrifices as a family to benefit the whole family and that has taught me how important that effort is and my dedication to my military family and our country would continue. I have participated in sports all of my life and enjoy the game of football and the team with everything that I am. During my Junior year my family experienced some difficulties due to my brother's father and after many court proceedings my family moved. Through those challenges I continued to strive to do my best and be successful. Subsequently we moved to Columbus, GA and I began a new school my Senior year. I continue to take AP classes and have lettered in football at my new school. I would like to continue to honor my family by being successful at the USAF Academy. I also come from a long line of military members my biological father graduated from the USAF Academy and recently I was able to start a relationship with him. Our love of the military and likeness about service and honor has facilitated a stronger bond. My mother's father is a retired Lt Colonel and has always been a positive male role model in my life. He was prior enlisted and went to college and returned to the Air Force as an Officer. He has always communicated to me how important education and leadership are. I believe I would be very successful in an Academy environment and would be a proud graduate from the Academy and serve my country through military service and hopefully one day become a community leader.
