First off, I know I'm the only one who can decide if it is or not, but I thought some of you could maybe give me advice.
I'm not going to pretend I've wanted to go to the academy my whole life, because I haven't. I just started thinking about it about a year ago. I know I need challenge, and I want to be part of something bigger than myself, and I'd be honored to serve my country. I absolutely love learning and I apply myself towards everything I do. I'm one of the hardest working people I know, and I know for a fact I wouldn't have a problem with keeping up at the academy; I have great grades, I'm a good athlete, plenty of extra curriculars, yada yada. I always thought I would love it there except for a few problems:
I don't like taking orders from people. I like to do things my way and I don't take criticism all that well. I know that the military is all about order, and I think I could change, but I don't know. Also, I'm a complete slob! I haven't been able to see the ground in my room in ages and I lose things constantly. I'm really laid back too. Lastly, I'm not sure if I'm willing to make that long of a commitment to something that I may not even like wholeheartedly.
Okay well I actually do want it really bad, but I'm just so conflicted right now and I don't know what to do! Oh and I got accepted to the summer seminar and I was wondering if it's actually a good portrayal of what life would be like there because I don't want to go and get the wrong idea and get into something I don't even want.
Please give me some honest advice here everything will be appreciated!!!
