I am glad that I took the chance

VIEWPOINT OF A TEXAS CHALLENGE ACADEMY CADET

I originally did not want to attend Texas ChalleNGe Academy, simply because I didn’t want to drop my life for some military school. But my mom thought it would help me better myself.

I lived in a small town and got caught up in some dumb teenage stuff. I was vaping, fighting, sneaking around, and lying. Things weren’t looking too good, so to make my mom happy and to try to improve my life, I agreed to come to TCA.
