I'm a little different from most college sophomores. I don't pay for tuition, room, or board with money...but with service. In about 5 months I will be making a commitment to carry on with this "free" education and promise to serve until at least 2017. I am a sophomore at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Sprigs, Colorado.
As a resident of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the large accumulation of snow was as foreign to me as it was the rest of the eastern seaboard when they received 3 feet in about a week. Living at an elevation of 7258 feet it feels as if I am getting a constant work out and when I return to sea level I can run for miles. I wake up when most of my high school friends are going to bed and I'm given 28hrs worth of work each day. Life is tough here, but it's what I chose and it's something I love. I have never regretted my decision nor do I think I ever will. It's tough, but its worth it.
