Hello everyone,

My name is Nicolas Rilea. I am a junior attending a public high school in the state of California. I work for my grandfather doing maintenance (yard work and landscaping) for his small business. I am primarily a long distance runner on my school's cross country and track and field teams.

I spend the majority of my free time studying (history and politics) and running to get in better shape. My mile time is nothing to brag about at a 5:35 minutes with the goal of running under 5:00 by senior year. I'm always up for a new challenge.

I am here because I have the goal to become a United States Marine after my graduation in 2016. I eventually hope to be a part of the SOF community as a Critical Skills Operator. I believe that if you want to accomplish something you should learn from those who have already accomplished it. For example, if you seek wealth, take financial advice from a wealthy man, not a homeless man. This being said, I want to take advice from the people on this website who have done what I hope to do. I am here to learn.
 
Welcome to SS, Nicolas. As others have observed, very nice intro. Maintain your focus, work hard, stay humble, and General Jackson's quote below will all help you on your way. While you're at it, have fun; that's what being a teenager is all about.
