    Why I came to the Academy: "I came to the Academy because of my dream to become a fighter pilot. As long as I can remember (literally; since I was about 3) I have dreamed of being an Air Force pilot. The Academy is the place to go for people with that kind of aspiration, so the choice seemed easy to me."
