There are only 5 military academies in the U.S., and getting accepted to any of them is a major accomplishment. Meet a high school senior in Nebraska who got into all of them!

I just, I think the meet 18 year old noble Rasmussen, the Millard North high school senior is about to graduate at the end of next month. My friends and teachers have always known, I've been a hard charger in my academic life at school, just getting things done as early as I can and just so I can have as high as great as I can. His drive to be the best is something his parents say. He always had, we named him noble for him to grow up with that honorable character and we've seen him carry that throughout his life. He just, he was a very disciplined young student going from elementary to middle school to high school. I mean homework and academics always came first before he went out and had fun with his friends. Now that spirit of competitiveness is paying off in a big way. Noble who has military aspirations after high school has achieved a rare accomplishment. He's been accepted to all five military academies. His push to aim high is sending him to the Air Force just before senior year started. I got my private pilot and a little says no 172 I'm very grateful for and then I just didn't have enjoyed it in the air and I don't really want to be stuck in a boat or out somewhere with the army. His parents say his mix of academic athletic and leadership skills made him the perfect candidate for each program. So all those things put together has kind of been the package that the academies have been wanting. So we're real proud of him now. He has this advice for other teens striving for their own success, stay strong, stay optimistic and stay motivated. It just a little bit at a time and a day at a time is how you get through it.

A woman choosing to display her name using Korean letters became the target of a response from Omaha, Nebraska Mayor Jean Stothert after commenting on the mayor's post earlier this week about the emergency order.

<p>the dispute began. One soy on Song commented on the mayor's post that outlined her curfew, an emergency order, Sohn said The curfew made the mayor a coward. The mayor responded, saying Song was a troll and shouldn't hide behind symbols, which was the woman's name in Korean letters and so to be called symbols and not characters, you know, and realizing this is a true name that was pretty hurtful today. The mayor apologized for her comment, and I fired back like 1/3 grader and called her a coward. I shouldn't have done that the night before, the mayor told six news she did not plan to apologize. Things changed Wednesday when she spoke to the Korean Association of Nebraska and sent a letter. I am going to make an apology today on Facebook. The other day I made a comment that I should have made it was inappropriate, Andi, I will apologize. In the mayor's apology letter to Sohn and Korean Association of Nebraska, she said the letters Sohn used were not familiar, and I referred to her not using her name because I saw these symbols are letters, but they were Korean and so in no way did. I didn't mean to insult her heritage, um, or her that ground. The mayor is now calling for people to be more respectful on social media, starting with herself.</p>
