Would you please help me with some grammatical issues?

I was about to send a short article about myself to the Defense Language Institute in Texas to be published on the alumni column. When I showed the article to one of my friends, she suggested some modifications, but I disagreed with her. Here are the sentences we disagreed about (The 1st answer is mine, the 2nd is hers):

1- I attended and graduated from DLI in July 1999. Since then,(I’ve made /I made) up my mind to take all of my knowledge of the English language(I’ve learnt / that I learnt) in the DLI and become a high school English teacher after retirement.

2- For that goal, I’ve decided not to stop at (that / this) point of learning (but / to) develop my teaching skills as well.

3- As a positive practical step on that route, I recently did all my best to attend the Officer Instructor Training at the Egyptian Naval Institute for High Studies and (score / scored) the 1st grade with an overall grade of 95%.

4- I wish all students and staff the best and welcome them anytime (to / in) Egypt.
