    WHY USAFA?: "I chose the Air Force Academy because I wanted to do something extraordinary with my life. USAFA provides exciting opportunities to its cadets and even more opportunities after graduation. They have an outstanding academic program and the extra activities, like flying in gliders and jets, parachuting, and traveling. They will all be amazing experiences. Also, 2010-11 was a great year for the men's gymnastics team and I can't wait to be a part of that."
