“Thank you. I know those words can never truly capture the depth of gratitude
that I feel for the donors who support the Corps of Cadets. Donors provide us
with themeans to challenge ourselves intellectually, emotionally, and physically
inways that we never could have imagined. The trip I went on for theWWI Staff
Ride changedmy life and not many things can do that. Because of that Staff Ride
instead of planning to become a surgeon I nowplan on becoming a psychiatrist
who specializes in post-traumatic stress disorder so that I can help the thousands
of soldiers who come home and desperately need help.”

Why did youdecide to come toWest Point?
I fell in lovewith the values thatWest Point
teaches. My parents recommended that
I apply toWest Point, and although I resisted
in the beginning, themore I was exposed to
West Point themore I loved it. I knew that it
was the place forme because I knew it would
challengeme in everyway, and that I could
eventually become as amazing a person
as every single graduate I met.
