I don’t know if any of you have experienced this, but I spent all my time thinking about USNA that I didn’t even consider a second option or what my life would be like at a civilian college. Whenever I would workout, take tests, complete my academic work, USNA was my motivation. Now, after being rejected, I almost feel as if I don’t have a purpose. I have nothing to work for. I went from thinking I had the next 9+ years later out for me to not even knowing where I’m going to go when the May 1st deposit deadline comes around. My number one goal in life is to give back to the world. I thought that’s what I would do in the military.
