USCGA Personal Statement 
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” –Henry David Thoreau
Two long-term goals I have set for myself are to reach my full potential and make this world we live in a better place. As a military child I feel that I have a debt to repay to my parents and to my country. Attending the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) will grant me the opportunity to make my dreams and goals a reality. The USCGA would help me further develop as a leader and extend on my abilities. The service requirements after attending the academy would enable me to support my country in a positive matter. I would wear the USCG uniform with great pride.
These long-term goals I have shared with you are only some of the few I have set for myself. Through my youth I have also set short-term goals such as entering the National Honor Society (NHS) in my DODEA School. In order to achieve this goal I organized myself, and focused on all the important details such as 3.4 GPA or higher, community service hours, and other leadership positions that were required in order to apply for a position. Once this goal was met, more effort from my part was put forth in order to obey the code of conduct and fulfill new expectations.
Thirty years from now, I want to be able to look back on my life and be proud of what I accomplished. All of my life I have been a military child, a proud one at that. I have always looked up at those who serve with great respect and can honestly say they have taught me plenty, not only through lectures but also through their actions. Thus from a young age I have come to see that there is no better way to pay back our country than to serve in its military. Standing up for what we believe in iswhat keeps our country free.
In which I have come to believe that the Coast Guard Academy can teach me lessons beyond that of any other college in the country. There, I will receive an excellent education, a solid foundation for a
