Who I was
Hello everybody, my name is Tommaso
Troia and, like many of you reading here, I have been lucky enough to be one of
Mrs Spila’s pupils in my high school years.
In high school I was quite a good
student with a passion for swimming, Maths and Physics, who loved studying the English
language but not English poetry and literature. I particularly enjoyed pushing
Mrs Spila’s patience to the limit, which is why our beloved teacher will hardly
ever forget about me. J
I also spent my spare time playing
Magic The Gathering, and studying some computer science on my own.
My Choice
I have to say, I didn’t think about
my future much till the fourth year of high school, since I was pretty sure that
whatever was in my future, it would be great.
It was right in the middle of my
fourth year of high school that I clearly realized what my dream job was. A
tough one, both physically and mentally challenging, but with strong values and
sound rules to follow. Thus, when I
asked myself what I was going to do in my life, I clearly saw that my choice
could be no other than to join the Army. So I started dreaming of entering the
Military Academy of Modena.
Of course, as I had made my mind, I visited
the Italian Army official website and found all the information I needed to
enlist, which is what I did. So, since first step was to pass a series of tests and exams of
different types, I started studying and doing some extra exercise to pass whatever
test I was to go through.
