AIM was a week that I am so glad I did not miss out on. It was an eye opener
for me in terms of what I have to work on physically and mentally in order to
be the best fit for this school.
Even though I was not the most athletically inclined as others, AIMsters and
cadre were always there to motivate me to not give up and to keep pushing.
The gratitude I had after accomplishing all that I could was incredible. I would
not have known what Swab Summer could be like at all had it not been for this
experience. The week was intense, and there were definitely moments I felt
like giving up. But then the week came to a close, and I realized that I made it.
And that was the most incredible feeling I have ever felt. I hope to have the
opportunity of attending this Academy and being a part of something so
important in our country.
