Current Stati

I've been extremely busy with my senior year and everything that comes with it. You would not believe how much paper work and online forms must be filled out when applying to the Air Force Academy. The instruction manual for just the basic application is 41 pages! So I've got my hands full with that and JROTCs big inspection that comes once every four years. I'm the battalion commander, the top person in the entire Brookland Cayce High School JROTC unit. I'm working on maintaining all A's this year. Currently I have a 103 in Calculus Honors. In September, I auditioned for Gifted and Talented voice lessons with Tom Brunson and although I did not obtain one of the three openings, I am an alternate. Second best was never my favorite spot to be in but I suppose it's better than nothing. I'm preparing to audition for All State Chorus in November. College applications are not something I've been looking forward to but they must be completed. I'm also studying for my next promotion in Civil Air Patrol. I can promote twice as fast as others because of my JROTC experience. Hopefully I will be going to McEntire Air Base on friday to fly in a C130. Then on Saturday I'll be competing at Swansea High School. It will be the first drill meet of my senior year that I will be able to attend. BC's Drill Team took home first place overall at the competition in September and I'm looking forward to us doing that again. Afterwards, I'll come home, change, and head off to work at Williams-Brice Stadium attempting to sell cotton candy on a pole for 15% profit. If they run out of cotton candy, I'll carry around snow cones and hope I'm fortunate enough to sell them before they become koolaid. Sunday morning I'll get up early and run for twenty minutes, just like every day, shower, and get ready for church. Everyday I'm practicing speaking. I'm supposed to be less meek. I need to speak up for myself; something I'm not particularly good at. Practice makes perfect. I can do this. I will do this. I will excel beyond anyone's imagination. I want this bad enough to train and prepare as much and as hard as I have to.
