Kaitlin Harrison, 20, of Springfield, Virginia grew up an army brat with her father, grandfather, and other family members in the army. Harrison felt pressurerd to go to West Point, a military academy in New York, where her father and two older brothers attended.
"I wanted to branch out, do my own thing, and go to a school where there was a good journalism program," Harrison said.
At first, she intended to go to the University of Georgia. That journalism school is named after her great uncle, Henry Grady. Then, she decided on the University of Mississippi where she is now a junior.
Harrison said her father accepted her decision. Now, he is actually grateful that she decided not to join the military with the war and deployments going, he said. Her father and two brothers have all been deployed. One of Harrison's brothers is on his way to being a professor at West Point.
Harrison said she has no regrets of her decisison and when asked of where she would like to be in five years, she said, "I hope to be writing for a magazine, along with two kids."
