1. Is "St. John's Military Academy" a high school, not a college? If it's a high school, what do they teach in there? In Korea, military acadmies are university level ones.
2. What does "a music scholarship to St. John's Military Academy." mean? "a scholarship give to the academy for my brother"?
26) I was 18 years old and attending the University of Wisconsin when my younger brother was awarded a music scholarship to St. John's Military Academy. On a beautiful fall afternoon, he was scheduled to perform in his first concert. Orders had been issued from home that I would be attending the event. The thought of sitting through a high-school band concert was definitely not my idea of a good time. Though I was unwilling to follow the order, I visited the concert hall after all. Waiting for my brother to appear with my parents, I excused myself to go to the toilet. I returned a short while later to the snickers and grins of everyone in the room. Stuck to my shoe and trailing behind me was a forty-foot stream of toilet paper.
