Mia A

Hey everyone! My name is Mia, and I am a junior in high school. I've been homeschooled almost my entire life, and I am also an SAT R&W prep and Reading tutor.

Some fun facts about me

- I am a powerlifter

- I have taken Russian for 4 years, and I am also fluent in Hindi (hoping to use both in my career)

- I love to read, bake, and hang out with people

- I want to join Air Force ROTC and serve active duty. Many people in my life ask me why I chose this career path. The answer is always the same. My grandpa served in the armed forces. Thousands, upon millions of men have served before me, in order to ensure my future. Thousands of men sacrificed their time, their relationships with their loved ones, and even their lives so that I could freely enjoy the rights I have as a U.S. Citizen today. Without those sacrifices, I would not have these freedoms. I would live a very different life. They ensured my generation's freedom. I feel a duty to honor their sacrifice, and ensure the future of the next generation. I am physically able and mentally capable to perform my duty to my country and to the men who sacrificed for me. 4 years of service seems like such a small thing in comparison.
