I don't absolutely need the scholarship, but it would remove a lot of stress and reduce the chances of me possibly needing to borrow money from gosh knows where but hopefully not the bank. ROTC is on a year for year type thing, correct? I remember reading somewhere that it's a 2 or 4 year...

Ah, but at BCT everyone's hair is messy. At a tailgate, I'm the one that spills something down her sweater and gets her hair stuck in the car door. Why thank you. I am, and I might collapse, but it's working so far. That's why UCLA is a higher on my list than Stanford, but being able to go...

Well then I've been deceivingly told my entire life that us West Coasters had I.L. out here. *sigh* Oh well. I'll admit, I'm coddled. Everyone tells me how I'm smart and I have a bright future. I had IL scores. Honestly, I think it's a pile of bull. I've met people much smarter, harder working...

I'm not afraid of stress; I do handle and work in a high stress environment. I am only thinking of the possibility that if I am overwhelmed by pairing military program with college ROTC will not require me to transfer into a different school. The financials are not an issue; my parents have been...

I'll have to read a little more, because I think I understand what you're saying. I should be taking the SAT/ACT in my junior year, but if I don't score high enough, this is helpful so thank you. Alright. My intended major is biology; I don't know if this counts. Even if I cannot get a...

Don't ROTC programs pick from the students attending the school at which they are based? I haven't done as much research on ROTC, so sorry if this is kind of an obvious question.

I already recognized that I am making excuses for lack of participation in a previous post. I am, however, considering that ROTC may be a better fit for me as a student due to my current stress experience. While I plan on continuing to strive for the USAFA standards, I know that there is AFROTC...

Right now I am only comfortable with a .22 LR hand gun and .22 or 223 rifle... I normally use a scope, but I learned on iron sights; do you know what they use?

My counselors have actually already given my class the NMSQT packet to learn about so that when we take the PSAT this year we will be able to record our strengths and weaknesses for next year. I have several scholarship possibilities saved on my computer for application in the coming years as...

I just joined GSA about a year ago; I asked my parents to join because I was jealous of my brother, who participates in BSA. Because I started late, I am have doubts as to if I will be able to get my gold, or even a silver, star. I have, however, been looking to switch to a high adventure troop...

I do go to a high school in the United States, but still need to schedule a time to go to the gymnasium after school; the PE teachers run clubs after school and I'm not allowed to be there by myself, nor use the equipment alone, so I need to make an appointment to try this as well as get a more...

I don't have a basketball or 100' so I haven't tried the basketball throw yet, but I can do 3 (almost 4) pull ups, a 10 second shuttle run, 50 sit ups (one minute, I still have to try the 2 minute), and 48 push ups (I need to double check my time on this one.) I know for a fact my mile is...

Key Club is an international organization devoted to community service and character building. It's the high school level of a larger organization called Kiwanis that has service clubs and groups on all levels of school including elementary schools and college. http://www.keyclub.org/home.aspx...

I have my academics as well as Key Club, Girl Scouts, summer internship (I'm not old enough for employment yet), some babysitting--I "started" a business with cards and a few excel sheets plus CPR certification but won't expand until the summer, and also play an instrument. My school music...

You would be correct. I've started preparing and gathering information on all the colleges I plan on applying for... I do attend a college prep school with a high focus on post-high school life. My counselors are already talking about the directions we want to take and many of my classmates and...

Thank you. I feel like an awkward duck... I don't know if not replying would come off as rude.(..)

I see... I guess it's time for another "Hey, parents..." dinner. I truly believe that everything I've ever seen listed in a teamwork forum I've learned from playing in band--even though I can't anymore--but I suppose unless you do it then it's harder to see than when one participates in sports.

Is it possible to get in even without participating in sports?

I'll work on it, but I'm a little confused. Aren't martial arts and fencing solo sports? I can see that teams would be cheer one another on, but from what I did in the past martial arts competitions were on a person-by-person basis.

I've done martial arts, but out of majority rules at home we dropped it in favor of a gym membership... I know I'm kind of throwing excuses out here, but even the martial arts groups that my parents have let me participate in were not competitive.
