Searching for a college can be a challenging thing for a high school student. Most don’t even know what they want to go to school for. I was in the same boat as them until I was talking to my grandfather one day and he suggested that I look into the United States Naval Academy. At this point, I had never heard of the Academy. I performed extensive research on the academy and decided it was a path that I would like to pursue, despite the challenge it posed. While I should have also given thought…

Although Utilitarianism has many great arguments supporting its validity in specific scenarios, implementing it on such a large scale as the United States Naval Academy (USNA) would prove extremely difficult and ultimately provide more harm than benefit to the academy. Utilitarianism rests on the belief that we should provide the greatest good to the largest number of people. In large-scale situations, figuring out what the “greatest good” is becomes very difficult. Countless obstacles would be…

the United States Air Force Academy Summer Seminar in a class where we learned about propulsion. The topic covered was electrodynamics and it related to a particle accelerator.

My interest in the Naval Academy came later than most. It began when I entered the Yard on May 24, 2016, and continued to grow as I stepped into Bancroft Hall and read the names of true American heroes who have given their life to the United States of America. I quickly realized that the atmosphere I would be immersed in for four years would be filled with like-minded, motivated people who would help develop and maximize my leadership skills. For the majority of my life, I have looked upon…

Harbor The “Gibraltar” of the Pacific (also known as) Pearl Harbor was the headquarters for the United States Pacific fleet from the years 1899-1941. This monumental place experienced one of the most devastating attacks in United States history which left them no choice but to join World War II. But, did they really have a choice? In early January 1941 the United States Ambassador to Japan sent an urgent message to the U.S warning them of a surprise attack to pearl harbor. Who was responsible…

My initial interest in the naval service was inspired by the sacrifices of the men and women serving our country. In order for our freedoms to remain intact, I think it is important for young graduates to continue the tradition of serving the United States of America; however, it is equally important to receive a prestigious education. These alumni should show a developed character and firmly established integrity as well. My interest to serve my country began at an incredibly early age as I…
