Hello!
I received an appointment to the Air Force Academy this past week, however I am unsure if I should accept.
For background, I received a Type 1AFROTC Scholarship, a MCROTC Scholarship, and many smaller scholarships that have guaranteed I’ll be attending college for free.
I know for sure I DO want to become an officer in the Air Force (not a pilot though), therefore now I am trying to decide what path I want to take.
personally, I just don’t want the kind of lifestyle the Academy provides. I don’t believe it fits with my personality and what I want from college, however my parents constantly assure me they think I’ll be happy there and can do it.
additionally, I attended the Summer Seminar, and even after the Seminar, I cannot picture myself there.However, I shadowed the AFROTC I would attend if I do not go to the Academy and can picture myself there and was more excited that one day more than that whole week.
everyone around me is telling me that four years doesn’t matter and that I’ll enjoy myself and I can do it.. etc.
I am just unsure of if the Academy is too big of an opportunity to pass up that regardless of how I feel I should still accept.
thank you so much for reading!
