Edgar Woods '16 Recruiting Profile

My goals after college are to join the United States Air Force as an officer and become an astronaut.  Majoring in Aerospace Engineering will help me achieve my goals of becoming an astronaut.  

I would be an excellent candidate for your team because I am physically and mentally strong.  I am a team player and look at every opportunity, good or bad, as an opportunity for growth.  

I am different from other recruits because not only have I maintained a 3.6 throughout my high school career; I am the president of an organization called Beaux. It helps young men to stay focused throughout high school.  Additionally, we do community service projects such as picking up litter, painting walls in our school, and feeding the homeless. I am also a captain on my football team. The team looks to me to keep everyone motivated to win each and every game. They also follow my lead because of my efficiency in the classroom. I am also the treasurer of our National Honors Society. We partake in many community service events such as pennies for patients, and feeding the homeless. Finally, I was in the Beta Club in middle school and I am currently a member of the National Society of High School Scholars.  I participated in JROTC from 9th -11th grade.   Additionally, my GPA (3.6) speaks to my hard work and scholarly standards. Other areas of merit include my exceptional leadership skills among my peers, extraordinary employee work ethics, and array of extracurricular activities that include football and baseball which helped me win 2015 Homecoming King at my school.
