Bright Future Requires Shades

Beings that I did a blog post on the end of school and what not, I deemed that it was necessary to write a little something something about plans for the future... Not the near future (as in Senior year), but more of your college years and beyond to infinity, as Buzz Lightyear would say.
Personally, I want to pursue a career in the military (hopefully either USMA/West Point Military Academy, Air Force Academy, or the Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD). This military isn't like being drafted... I wouldn't be on the front lines. I would be more of a leader or higher up officer. Why? Because I would go to college at the academy. I would get my schooling paid for and get paid even while I'm in there for extras. How sweet is that? Scholarship and money for whatever I want? NICE! And the cool thing about it is, I could get any schooling after my four year degree paid for. Me, personally, I want to go Pre-Med and then continue into Med School to become some sort of a doctor. The military academy would pay for that! They are the elitist of the elite to say the least, but it comes at a price. You must give x number of years to them after your schooling is finished. You would more than likely be deployed in those years of service, if the United States was in some sort of a foreign war/dispute. Being someone that has always wanted to travel all over the world my whole life, I might enjoy this! My parents on the other hand are naturally a little concerned as they don't want anything happening to me. I very much like the discipline that you get at these academies. They prepare you to be the best that the country has to offer academically, athletically, and in any other aspect. I can't wait to see if I can go through this avenue to pursue a nice career in my future.
If I got the awesome opportunity to go to one of the military academies, I would play basketball there! Division 1 women's NCAA college basketball to be exact. I've always wanted to be a college basketball player on scholarship, and what better way to do it! If I didn't go to the military academy, and went to a regular four year state or private university or college, I would still play basketball on scholarship! I have always dreamed of playing in an NCAA championship in early April.
No matter where I go, I want to become a doctor. Specifically a surgeon as of right now, but who knows how I could change my mind. I'm particularly interest in specializing. I think it would be so rewarding if I could perform heart surgery on a baby that wasn't even a month old, or brain surgery on a person that suffered injury and head trauma from an unfortunate accident.
Whatever I plan to do or wherever my future takes me, I hope it is bright! I can't wait to set off into it and see where I end up! I didn't even discuss a husband or kids! ;) (530)
