I will continue to aspire to embody the qualities of good leadership, fortitude to do what is right at all times, and commitment to the Navy in all aspects of my life once I am a commissioned officer. I am the product of having been led by quality officers throughout my career. STA-21 is my opportunity to become one of those great leaders that helped me get where I am. I owe a debt of gratitude to those who came before me and understand the responsibility placed on me to continue those traditions. The STA-21 program will undoubtedly be a life changing opportunity that I will take on wholeheartedly and will be committed to excel in to the very best of my abilities. I am focused and am able to execute all that will be asked of me in the program as a Pilot Option. I know that I will distinguish myself as a Naval Aviator if only I am given that first chance to succeed as an Officer Candidate in the STA-21
