“I want to be in the military after college. I joined the ROTC at
LSU a little while ago, and it’s been a pretty fun ride! It’s not
easy, but overall, it’s a positive experience. You get to build a lot
of connections with other people. You get to learn more about
who you are as a person. You can become a better version of
yourself. The fact that you’re constantly pushed to become a
better version of yourself is hard. It’s a process of constantly
adapting. For many people, that’s a little too difficult. I want to
serve so that I can do something with my life that’s long term
and that I can be good at. I want to be productive. I don’t have
much of a preference on whether I want to serve stateside or in
another country, but I do kind of figure that I’ll be going all over
the world!”
