He really stepped up his courses AP History, Chinese, advanced literature, debate and on level math and science. He’s finally challenged, taking to heart the “frontal assault” concept with his teachers, engaging them in thoughtful and creative ways to ensure he’s getting what he needs. Beyond school, he’s now making more friends, with true peers. He’s has some good stories to tell, sure he’ll share when we get together…”
Editor's Notes
- #6 Let’s examine educate, train and inspire through the lens of a recent graduate. Cadet Sarah Goss graduate in 2009 with a double major in mechanical engineering and chemistry. She was an honor graduate (8th in her class), a battalion commander in the Corps of Cadets, and co-captain of the women’s soccer team. She was sponsored by Colonel Carver and thus she would frequently visit the Carver household to see how a military family operated from the inside. The picture to the far right is a typical Friday night with cadets at the Carver house enjoying each other’s company and playing a popular game called “Apples to Apples”. The animated pictures displays the highlight of the cadet experience, the oath of office. This is in contrast to the public image of West Point where the hat toss is the traditional celebration of graduation.
