United States Naval Academy

This summer I went to the Naval Academy for Summer Seminar which was a fantastic experience. While at the academy we had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning for morning PT and then we went to classes. I took Damage Control, Astronautical Engineering, Aeronautical engineering, YP Cruise, and Guided Missle Destroyer ship handling simulation and navigation. All these classes were a perfect introduction to the kinds of things I would do at the academy, and I loved all of it. My favorite class was the Aeronautical Engineering class where we tested different shapes in wind tunnels and learned about how different shapes affect drag and lift. These are all things that I would love to do at the academy. During my time at the Naval Academy, I realized that my dream is to be able to not only attend the academy but to serve in the Navy as an officer after college.
