Throughout my time in the Corps, one of my biggest challenges has been knowing when to be Cadet Gibson and when to be Cecilia.

I could have gone to different colleges and universities for football. But I chose The Citadel because I did not want to go to a normal college.

Eight cadets were selected for a new, rigorous academic program as freshmen. The goal is to help them apply for prestigious universities and scholarships.

The Citadel was fascinating to me. I knew I wanted to be a part of this place and I wanted to earn my own ring.

Lo que me llevare de este lugar es el carácter, piel más dura, madurez, y el compañerismo que se construyó en estos cuatro años largos pero que siempre llevare con orgullo.

The President’s List is one of the most distinguished cadet awards presented by The Citadel. It indicates excellence in academics and military duties.
