Why did you enroll at MMA? I was struggling with virtual learning in public school. I wanted an in-seat education with real interaction with my teachers and friends. Also, the military aspect of MMA seemed pretty cool. 

Why do you now attend MMA? It makes sense to be here. I am working towards my diploma. 

What is the most important thing you have learned so far at MMA? Life is unpredictable and at any time a wrench can be thrown into your path (whether you are not getting promoted, getting into trouble, etc.). How you react to those situations will determine the ultimate outcome.

What advice do you have for new cadets? Do what you are told. Everyone here has to do the same thing every day, including you. Please don't be that guy that thinks he can “beat the system.”
