Will I get into the Naval ACademy?
I've had a rough high school, a bit tumultuous i daresay. Before I state my .. accomplishments, I will first say this. I had no clue there were service academies till the end of my junior year. Hence, if I knew there was a school out there for me, I would have gotten 4.0 gpa no joke. Such a dissapointment to realize there were military based schools. I must've been so blind...
anyways.
From freshman to junior year, my Gpa cumulative is 2.57, and weighted 3.09. By the end of my high school, I will have taken 7-8 AP courses, and about 6-7 science classes. And I won the school science fair, got 2nd place in counties, and am entered in the JS HS, a national science contest. I also got a 1940 on my SATs.
I'm the top violinist in my school, one of the best in the state. I don't like to comepte with the violin, but I have basically perfect pitch and rythym.. and I can feel music in its entireity. It's like a language I'm fluent in. Anyways, the only one time I comepeted seriously was in seventh grade, where I got a perfect score at State Solo Festival. bigg whoop. Haha, but now I just play violin for my church and people in countries who can't afford a live performance. Most haven't even seen a violin. Like orphans and poor people
I have 399 hours of community service, and I've gone to other countries, villages, such as Thailand and Mexico and did a lot of stuff there. For example, assisting the sick and elderly, giving out medicine, playing with the kids, performing for ppl, and was the leader of the mission relief group. I've been to AIDS orphanages nad stuff. which really changed me..
I'm 17 btw. I'm also the indoor and outdoor track captain of my school, as well as first violin/ 2nd chair (I should be first haha).
I'm also the co-chair for Key Club, and President/leader for FCA, the largest christian club in the nation (Fellowship of Christian AThletes)
I can be a leader, and I know what to do. I've started out at the bottom, and made my way up to the top. But my GPA is awful. Yeah... i'm like a ******** savant.. haha jk. Well, to be blunt, I think a leader has to be flexible. IF one is too rigid in his ways, he'll snap in two, and if one is too bendable, he'll be swayed. If you're too headstrong and you head into a situation without even thinking of other possiblities, you're screwed.. haha just one of my thoughts.
People hear I get 1940, Science fair and blabla, violinist, Track caPtain, but my gpa is... ********.
But due to several reasons whcih will devour this page, I will withdraw from stating them. But I will say, my desire to achieve academically has skyrocketed.
Hence, this first quarter of my senior year, I have receieved a 3.42 GPA and 4.2 Weighted, with Ap and Honors classes. I'm going to go to win 110 hurdles and 55 hurdles and 300 hurdles at States this year, definintely.... and yeah..
I applied for my nominations, but I didn't get any of them
hahaha
I know I have what it takes, and I know that I won't regret it at all. I want to serve. And I'm Korean, making me a minority, fluent in korean speaking writing and understanding, good at Spanish, a bit of japanese and some thai, and.. yeah.
Im' not sure if asking this is foolish or ignorant. I just want some honest feedback. I hear, "wow you'll get in." But hten again I also hear, "Thousands of students are just like you but with 4.0 GPA.
But to tell you the truth, whatever you say on this will not affect my views or thoughts. I already trust that God will send me where I need to be. So thanks
