Humans of SLA Beeber: Daniel Crowell

Daniel: Well, I would say the U.S. military has had some of the biggest influence. It has not only made me look at how I want to live my life, but on how I will be protecting/saving lives.

Jessica: What are your goals and ambitions for the future?

Daniel: I would say one of my main goals is to graduate SLA and get into the Naval Academy, and from the academy, graduate as a high ranking officer in the United States Marines.

Jessica: Why, might I ask?

Daniel: Because I like helping people. There has always been a part of me wanting to help people out.

Jessica: How would you like to be remembered?

Daniel: To be honest, I have no interest in being remembered.

Jessica: But if you make it to the military, won’t you be remembered for what you did for our country?

Daniel: I might, but my life goal is giving my life to the loved ones back home weather it be my family and friends or the country itself.

Jessica: What is your earliest memory?

Daniel: The earliest memory has to be of me and my sister being washed by our mom.

Jessica: Whatʼs the most exciting thing youʼve done?

Daniel: The most exciting thing I’ve done so far has to be going to Outward Bound! The experience was literally life changing.

Jessica: Is there anything you remember most from that trip?

Daniel: The one thing I remember of this trip has to be the trail name I got. In the trip, I was a kid who was more than willing to help my friends with heavy things whether it be pulling the canoe ashore or taking things up to our camp.

Jessica: What was your trail name, if you wouldn’t mind me asking?

Daniel: Oh god, Carebear

Jessica: What is your biggest fear or phobia?

Daniel: My biggest phobia is hights! I just get this weird feeling when I’m looking down from a great height

Jessica: What are you proudest of?

Daniel: I am most proud of the armed forces, whether they are protecting our homeland here or out fighting for our freedom, I feel they pay with their lives to keep us free.

Jessica: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? And why?

Daniel: If I could travel anywhere in the world I would say, Spain or Europe even in general. I’ve heard so much about Europe that I would want to see things, ranging from the coliseums in Greece to the Running of the Bulls in Spain.

Jessica: Thank you for your time.
