My studies are more important these first two years in helping me reach my goal to be a commissioned officer, but maybe 1/11 be able to take part in sports later on. The only hing that will make me ineligible to play is if my grades go down. But I’m too motivated to let that happen. There's not much to tel1 you about my social 1ife. 1 don't have one!
