#1 I was the second-string goalie on a top-ranked high school soccer team. I learned an important lesson about staying focused on the task at hand. If you want to achieve your dreams, you must not only dream big, but also force yourself back down to earth to keep plugging away at the minutiae that will bring those dreams within reach.

#2 I learned what I hate the most in the world is fear. I was seven years old when my mother got us away from my biological father. He had told my mother that he wanted to be with us, but instead he wanted to be with her. She flew us to Texas.

#3 I had decided to become a combat pilot at the age of sixteen, and I had spent the years prior working hard to become the best at everything I did. I had never mentioned my dream of being a military pilot to Mr. Dewey, but he had still given me a scathing recommendation.

#4 I was happy to be accepted into the University of Texas at Austin. I had developed a strong relationship with my recruiter over the last year, as I’d been navigating the process of joining the Navy, so I called him from a pay phone in the cafeteria.
