I want to attend the Naval Academy because I want to distinguish myself and to gain a sense of purpose.
My father attended the Naval Academy and ,as a result, he always encouraged me to join in the service. This would be a goal that I wanted to achieve myself, so that I could improve myself and learn new skills. I also wanted to earn my degree in Mechanical Engineering in order to pursue my aspirations. In the long term, I would like to be able to serve 20+ years and retire from the Navy. The Naval Academy presented me with an excellent opportunity being able to do all of this at the same time. During my four years, I would hope to not only have an excellent education, but also to grow with fellow Cadets and build lasting bonds with them.
