Hello, I am writing a 300 word essay on why do I wish to attend a service academy.
Here is what I have (Give me any critiques or advice I'm open to anything):
I wish to pursue an education at a service academy because it would provide me with an opportunity to serve my country and study my passion for international affairs. My desire to serve in the United States Army comes from the inspiration of my great-great-great-grandfather, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel L. Hunstable, who fought for the Union in the Civil War. He created a legacy that is still being remembered to this day. I, too, wish to create my own military legacy and reignite this calling to serve in the Army, beginning with my time at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Academically, I wish to begin my postsecondary education at an institution that has exceptional international affairs and foreign language programs. West Point's International Affairs program offers an approach to teaching that prepares cadets to utilize this knowledge once they have graduated and become army officers. It is this direct approach that I desire, so after my time at West Point, I can use and build off of this knowledge to go further in my education and career within the U.S. Army. One program in particular stood out to me within West Point's International Affairs program, which is the Advanced Individual Academic Development (AIAD) Program. It is a summer program dedicated to providing cadets with cultural immersion in foreign countries, the development of leadership skills, and intellectual challenges. Often, there is a specific project assigned that is to be completed at the end of the program. This is not simply a study abroad program that thousands of other schools have; it is an opportunity that only West Point can provide.
The opportunity to attend a service academy would be an honor. There are numerous other reasons why I wish to attend West Point, but that is all I can give in 300 words.
