Great point, you see in all these years despite having no one or anything directly connecting me whit the United States I always felt an American, I consider being a U.S. citizen as a privilege. I want to use this opportunity that life gave me to serve my country and prove that despite the distance being a citizen of the United States of America is an honor, like a fire that burns inside of you, a force that makes your heartbeat when you listen to The Star-Spangled Banner, something that makes you proud of being part of a country made of different people that despite their backgrounds, religion, gender or race share the same dream and work together under the same flag. I want to do a job where I move to different countries and I’m constantly challenged, where I work in team and I can use my passions and skills for the benefit of this country. If I will ever get in I want to pursue a military career, I already envision myself as a U.S. commissioned officer and a Cadet. I firmly believe in the sense of legality, justice, and democracy, for me, it is a mission to serve my country, I have made many sacrifices, and put myself through a lot of physical and mental stress, but always with the determination to never give up. Attending West Point would totally change my life, living in a totally different country, mentality and culture to the one I’m used to, and I’m very excited about this new adventure, even if I don’t get in, this experience made me mature a lot as a person.
