Accomplishments
I have accomplished many things in my four years of high school at Missouri Military Academy. In high school I was the Captain of my soccer and wrestling team. I was in a leadership position in regards to the military aspect of my school. I was awarded the title of "Delta Phi full member" (received a 3.7 GPA or higher) every year I was at the academy. I also got many more awards throughout high school that were not related to academics, but were related to the military side of the school.
