I am really hoping to attend the Coast Guard Academy or Naval Academy and be a part of their amazing sailing teams. In fact, this past month I applied to both of their insanely selective summer programs, and found out that I got accepted into the Naval Academy program and should be hearing from the Coast Guard in a of couple weeks. The summer programs are a super important part of becoming a cadet at either academy, because they give you a week long taste of what life would be like at the school.
