Hello my name is Stephen and I'm sure you guys get a bunch of these so I am sorry :] But anyways, I am currently a sophmore in highschool. I just wanted you guys to give me guidance on what classes I should be taking and also to critique my schedule and what I can do inorder to gain an appointment to the Naval academy
Here's a little about my background
I come from a family with veterans from the South Vietnamese war, 1 of my uncles was a paratrooper in the airforce, 1 was a helicopter pilot in the airforce i believe, dad was in the medical corp. Grandfather was in the south vietnamese army as a colonel, and a couple of my other uncles were in the South vietnamese Navy If this helps at all.
This is my schedule from Freshmen year to currently Sophmore Year
