I don't know what makes me madder, all those people that are so incredibly ignorant about the service academies and our military in general, or those few who know what I'm trying to accomplish and all they want to do is discourage me. First it was getting into the Naval Academy (which I've already done despite some big setbacks), now it's wanting to become a SEAL after I graduate. I realize how competitive it is, but I also know I am more than capable of accomplishing it. I don't know how someone can look me in the eye and say "I know it's your dream, but it's way too hard, so don't even bother." The more people I meet, the less I like people in general. I can't wait to be isolated from the rest of the world with a couple thousand kids just like me.
