Introduction
My life experiences have taught me the importance of having effective communication and interpersonal skills. I have been able to stand firm for what I believe in regardless of the circumstance surrounding it. I have also learned that challenges are there to overcome regardless of one’s background. I have been exposed to people of different ranks, become a leader of our football team and volunteered within the community and USAFA. It is these array of attributes, life experiences and unique perspectives which I have acquired throughout my life that I look forward to sharing with the classroom, student body and the Academy as a whole if accepted into USAFA.

This will have impacts on the classroom because I will be able to explain what serving at the lowest level means.

Lastly through my life experience and unique perspective, I will be able to maintain a positive attitude throughout the academy, and this will help foster teamwork in the classroom.
As a captain of a football team and as a PTL, I learned how to motivate my team members. For example, during physical trainings, I used to encourage the student body to put forth their best effort. This will positively impact the student body because it will help boost their morale and motivate them. Additionally, I am very persuasive and know how to get things done, and this means that if something needs to get done, I am in a position to rally the student body and ensure that the task is accomplished. I will use my leadership qualities to advocate for friendship and inclusiveness because this will help build a firm foundation of trust and Airmanship.
I have always had a sense of pride for where I came from and for being a cadet. Additionally, being enlisted has opened my eyes to several opportunities in the air force academy and the community as a whole.
