At USMA the academic policy is that if a cadet fails a course twice, he is subject to review for separation. I struggled at wrapping my head around Multivariable Calculus, and the second time around I came up short again. Despite being top of my class militarily and physically, I wasn't allowed to continue. I regret not passing very heavily, but a person is only defeated as long as they let themselves be. I chose to not miss a beat and continue my goal of making SF.
