<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I hope the message subject caught your attention. My name is Anthony Carbonaro. I am a prospect for admissions for class of 2020. </p>
<p>I am 19 years old. Would be going into my third year of college, possibly at the USNA. But instead I had a atrocious life changing event which seems to hang my dreams by a string in front of my face. </p>
<p>I was a student at University of Michigan-Dearborn when my girlfriend suggested I see some friends from Eastern Michigan University; At the time she was attending EMU. I accidentally loss consciousness because I underestimated the power of alcohol. Long story short, I wondered into 2 homes and a car. I was charged with 3 felonies. I spent 7 months in a county jail and am now on probation. Luckily, I am under a program called HYTA:</p>
<p>This program will allow me to keep a clean public record. This was a serious flaw to my application, but I learned a lot from my time in jail. I spent much time meditating, reading books, self reflecting. I started to question simple questions. I ultimately became interested in pursuing a path in political science. I would like to involve myself in politics in the country of Romania. The United States Naval Academy has been my dream since 8th grade. I have worked very hard in becoming a true leader. </p>
<p>At 11 months old, I was adopted from a Romanian orphanage by the greatest parents a child could ask for. I still don't know my biological parents, nor do I care to know them. My parents raised me with discipline and great morals. As a child I participated in countless seasons of baseball and soccer. Middle school, I participated in cross country, track, and wrestling. I became captain for 3 seasons. High school, I participated in 16 varsity seasons of sports, co/captain of 5 sports. Participated in a broad range of music programs. 4 years of marching band, concert band, and managing a music studio. 3 years symphonic band and jazz band. I am a percussionist. Held 3 leadership positions, almost won position for drum major. Executive Board Treasurer student council. Raised 20k my senior year for prom. Interact club-300 hrs. </p>
<p>For my church, I am an alter server, eucharistic minister, and lecturer. I also help with landscape and other work. 500+ hours. </p>
<p>Michigan-Dearborn. Computer Science Major. I led a team of 15 people in designing the body and ergonomics for a annually project of designing and racing a formula race car. Very Fun! I was a representative for student council. </p>
<p>Then... on Friday the 13th of September 2013, between 3 and 5 am(devils hour), I supposably invaded multiple homes and a car, stealing up to $1000 in property. I was charged with three felonies and spent 7 months in a county jail. Man! did I learn a lot! It was a life changing time, very rewarding if you can believe that! But this tragedy happened at a very important part of the application process. I would have been my 3rd attempt. . A couple months after my arrest, on Christmas, while in my jail cell, I received my Congressional Nomination by MI Rep. John Dingell. A very respected politician. What a feeling I had. Very happy, but Very mad. I didn't know what to do. I was stuck...</p>
<p>Now after being out of jail, I am still determined to become a midshipman. I am currently a student at my local community college taking an intro to international relations and a intro to sociology class. I am working 25 hours a week making a lot of money bar backing and bussing tables at a five star italian restaurant. I was glad to find a job with such great tips. I am not a fan of hourly paid jobs. </p>
<p>The downfall to my admissions each year is my academic performance. I received a 2.8 GPA and ACT score of 23 in high school. Relatively low compared to 2017 class portrait averages. I did however take 4 advance placement classes and received college credit in one class, US Gov. I really did enjoy that class. I focused my time of extra curricular activities, knowing it would help shape me into a well rounded individual.</p>
<p>But now, I need to take the SAT, Raise my crappy college gpa, and other things in order to receive an appointment. </p>
<p>I also outsource web development. I have been interested creating great networks of people who can produce amazing business results. I deal with lead generation, which targets people who are interested in my service of web development. I dead with sales, communication is key to sales, a trust is a must. I deal with program management and programers. I produce ten times more protect than money invested, and my turnout rate is fairly fast.</p>
<p>I am a more interested in the naval academy than most of the midshipman attending. My dream is fading quickly. I want nothing more than becoming a midshipman. My ultimate dream is to become a pilot. After the Navy, I would like to live in Romania, my home country. Because it is now a Democracy, remember Nicolae Ceaușescu's Communism? I am a byproduct of his no abortion law, so I can't dislike him to bad. Just curious, but are there any National Socialists midshipman? Anyway, I want to help Romania along its journey to Democracy and whatever lays beyond. Maybe marshal law. The US seems to be heading toward a police state. I think we will have an interesting winter. </p>
<p>Also, I will be looking for a recruitment from the hockey team. I am a fairly good hockey player with much potential. </p>
<p>This is a rough story of my journey. I am looking for any type of input.
Thanks!</p>
