I am currently in the process of getting my nomination essays together and wish to get some opinions before I hand it off to my english teacher next week for review. The essay I am presenting right now is addressed to Senator Boxer and is 196 words altogether. I can use no more than 250 words. I have replaced my actual name in the essay with that of my current alias. Any critiques and suggestions are welcomed.
Here is the essay:
Dear Senator Boxer,
I am Amora and I am writing this essay in the hopes of seeking your nomination for the United States Naval Academy. I have known since I was young that I wanted to join the military, specifically the navy, and thus I have done my best to seek and take hold of opportunities that will help me improve academically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have never settled for mediocrity on my part and strive to do my best at everything that is put in front of me.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience different cultures, get involved in the communities, and meet fantastic people as the child of a military officer and I wish to continue to have these experiences. Beyond serving my country and securing a job for the next five years when I graduate, I believe that USNA will present opportunities for me to grow in ways I can not imagine. Not only as a person but as a leader.
In conclusion, I would love the chance to represent California in the class of 2021 and hope that you will allow me the opportunity to do so.
Sincerely,
Amora
