Undergraduate / Someone influential in America - I chose John A. Lejeune. Experience and Initial Interest essay [2]
In a well-organized essay of 300 to 500 words, please discuss the following:
(1) Describe what led to your initial interest in the naval service and how the Naval Academy will help you achieve your long range goals, and
(2) Describe a personal experience you have had which you feel has contributed to your own character development and integrity.
In fourth grade, we were told to do a book report on someone who was influential in America; some kids chose George Washington or Alexander Graham Bell I chose John A. Lejeune, a United States Marine Corps lieutenant general and the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, known as the "greatest of all Leathernecks". I was born at the Naval Hospital, Camp Lejeune; this inspired me to choose John A. Lejeune. While reading his biography I was intrigued by his life, how he started as commissioning as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps to retiring as Lieutenant General. John A. Lejeune graduated from the Naval Academy in 1888; this motivated me to look in to the academy. Throughout my life I have been a child of the military; waking up early on mornings to Skype with my father millions of miles away, saying good-bye one too many times, or moving state to state, all of which have made me the person I am today.
I have always had ambitions to impact the world somehow; the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is to be a doctor, which was my first dream, until John A. Lejeune was introduced to me. Soon after I sought to commission into the United States military; throughout my life I have been taught to be self-motivated, to be disciplined, and to be a leader.
