I am currently a junior at Waukesha South High School and want to attend the United States Military Academy. I have been in both track and cross-country for three years and by senior year I plan to make it four, getting my varsity letters. This is also my second year for both Academic Decathlon and Future Business Leaders of America. I am part of my school's National Honor Society and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I am also part of my school's WWII research group and we will soon interview local WWII veterans. For volunteer work I have worked so far at helping at a retirement home and have helped paint a fence at a local cemetery. I also volunteer at a local VA on Sundays and also do community service with FBLA and my church; where I also am an usher at my church. My cumulative gpa is about a 3.7 and last quarter my gpa was 4.18 . My classes are Hon. Algebra II, Accounting, Leadership, Spanish IV, AP English, AP Econ, Strength and Fitness, and Chemistry this year. Finally, I plan to take the Army Reserve split option program next summer into next year. I am military history buff, from Hannibal's tactics at the battle of Cannae to General Schwarzkopf's "Hail Mary" flanking attack in the Gulf War. I also have entered in many writing contests, and have been published in the Cold War Times. I also am a finalist in stageoflife.com's writing contest. I plan to take the ACT in February. What would you advise me to be doing right now to help me get into West Point? I appreciate greatly any help you can give me. Thanks. GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!
