Hi everyone! I wondering if you could give me some advice on how handle those people who respond negatively or ask those questions to wanting to attend a service academy.
Recently a situation like this happened to me. I was talking to a good friend about colleges and mentioned that I wanted to go to AFA or CGA. One of the first things she said was "do you want to shoot people". I was taken by surprised as I'm only a sophomore and haven't told many people my aspirations as "college talk" doesn't come up much (yet ). Hopefully someone can shed some light on how to deal with these comments. I know that that might be their first reaction, but it was extremely awkward and hard to roll off my shoulder.
Thanks your time
