Short term goals: I want to finish my bachelor's degree Long term goals: I have several options up in the air, but I would eventually like to apply for Officer Training School. What do you think is the best thing about Pope, and why? I enjoy the weather here more than anything. If you could change one thing about Pope, what would it be, and why? I would like to see the Armistead Gate open back up.
