I guess I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, so I choose an pretty broad degree that is pretty much good for everything (but at the same time nothing…). I have a few choices that I will pursue once I am finally graduated. I would like to enroll in Officer Candidate School partly because of my father who spent practically 30 years in the service. All throughout my life I have considered myself a military brat. Growing up in schools around the eastern US, I was proud to say that my dad was a Marine. My brother and I would unashamedly put on our dads old uniforms, travel on restricted bases, and visits to the Pentagon. My dad has often been deployed and has served in different parts of the world. Many times, he would have to travel separate from our family for months, even years at a time, but we knew that he did such out of a sense of duty and service. He has always been a disciplined individual with strict regiments for physical fitness and lifestyle. He was the typical marine getting up early and working out, but simultaneously being a down to earth country boy. Five years ago, our family accompanied him on his tour in Japan and Korea. It was a great experience for me because it really showed me what military life was like. We spent time living on and off the military bases, which were basically like cities with medical, social and entertainment facilities everywhere.
