Being In High School Analysis
Being in high school has been the important chapter in my life so far. Despite moving a lot over the course of my childhood, it wasn't until I entered high school that my family decided to settle down. I am so fortunate to have been able to send my high school career in Overhills High School and their Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, the Jaguars Battalion. The Jaguar Battalion and it’s instructors Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Thomas R. Covington, Command Sergeant Major (Retired) John Hough, and Sergeant First Class (Retired) Alfred Penny have been an inspiration and structure for my life whilst in high school. Going through the years I look back and see the lack of commitment that cadets had toward the program for various reasons

    Jrotc

    To begin with, the first reason that I enrolled in JROTC was because I want to be different then every high school student. JROTC has truly been a blessing in my life. JROTC has helped me stick out from the crowd because most high school student do not like being told what to do. Also they do not like wearing the uniform but I take pride in it because when I grow older I will join the army because of the great amount of influences that I had in my life from my dad to LTC Harrell. When people see my down the hallways they ask me do you like that class? And I always reply the same thing “OF COURSE!!!!”…

    Infantry Officer Characteristics

    Taekwondo in combination with attending two academically rigorous high schools, AAST and SCGSSM, have prepared me mentally and physically to take on the many challenges I have faced. Whether that has been preparing for a Linear Algebra, Micro-Molecular Biology, and Computer Science test the next day or creating a community engagement project to help reduce the crime and obesity rate in our local community - I got it done. My experience at the Governor’s School has taught me how to lead a student body of about 250 students in order to achieve a greener campus and a reformed living and learning environment. Though many of these experience hardly scratch the surface the responsibilities and skills of being an Infantry Officer, I believe they are the first steps to achieving this…

    How Pfc Changed My Life

    Throughout PFC I have learned and gained many new important factors in life whether they are new skills to lifelong friends. Being in PFC has exposed me to new ways of learning and becoming a better leader in the future. From the beginning, I have inherited new skills through the trainings conducted and last minute conflicts on the freshman days of service I have been a part of. The trainings were not just a way of torture, waking up on Saturday mornings dragging myself to work so I can sit there for four hours just to listen to someone talk and instruct us on what to do. Those trainings were another way for us all to get together, learn about each other’s qualities, and being able to deliver to the program to creating a better community for…

    JROTC Essay 2013

    The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program can be a journey of life changing experiences that can and will build character and leadership. I am currently a freshman and I am enrolled in the JROTC program at Boca Ciega High School, and at first I wasn’t sure what to expect and who I would encounter. Throughout my year so far being a cadet, I am being challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally. But I was able to learn more about teamwork and leadership through this short span. The curriculum consists of practical exercises that directly target an individual’s leadership and character. JROTC has taught me what I would not have learned in any other class in high school. Older cadets have overcome fears and have formed lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. And I do intend on being like my role models in this program. Overall, they have found that JROTC has molded a sense of character within them just it has for me.…

    Why I Want to Attend a Service Academy

    My initial interest in the Air Force Academy was sparked when I accompanied my parents to a Military Child Education Coalition conference in the summer of 2004. My father and I, not involved in the conference, decided to spend the week exploring the Colorado Springs area, and after touring for several days, decided to go to what my father called "Zoomie U". We took the typical summer tourist tour, but I was enthralled. The chapel, the mountains, and the campus excited me, despite my youth. I spent the rest of the vacation asking questions on how to go to the Academy, what I could do in the Air Force, and a slew of other inquiries. Years later, as a high school junior, I visited again, and made firm my earlier decision: I must apply. Since I first entertained the idea of going to the Air Force Academy, I have considered several fields, namely; pilot, navigator, air battle manager, intelligence, and even technical fields such as meteorology and engineering. There honestly is no particular field which calls me; any career in the Air Force is worth having. The education received from a top-rate school such as the Air Force Academy would assist in all of the above aspirations, from the social networking achieved from the Academy cadets to the loyalty forged in enduring the same system. Also, from what I have learned from Academy alumni, I will value most the combination of education, military training, sports, and sleep. The lesson of time management is taught to ensure that all Air Force officers know its importance in the military, and there is no better classroom for that lesson than a military academy.…

    Want To Get Into College? Learn To Fail Analysis

    Angel B. Pérez in the article, “Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail” argues that perfection doesn't exist therefore students who apply for colleges should respond with the truth of who they are. Pérez supports his suggestion by describing what colleges actually expect in college application. In fact admission officers are digging deeper to find out who the students really are on the outside of school rather than the student with trophies, medals and good grades. The authors purpose is to persuade that perfection isn’t needed. On the other hand the truth is needed so that high school graduates applying for colleges don’t make an error that can shape their life forever. The author writes in formal tone for students who who look forward to attending the institute. Therefore high school graduates who want to obtain an education after secondary school should think twice before they respond. Admission officers…

    Traditional Students In The Military

    In some cases, the discharge from service of the military may be unexpected, leaving the service member unprepared for the transition. It is important that academic advisors are aware of the possible perceived lack of control that the service member may be experiencing. Although the period of transition is only temporary, the service member may not view his/her circumstance as short-term while feeling the transition is beyond his/her control. It could be beneficial for empathetic faculty and advisors to remind the military student that his/her response to the transition is within his/her control whether the transition is expected or unexpected. Reminding the student service member that the transition in the educational environment is not permanent will assist them in embracing the change in their lifestyle perceiving the situation as temporary rather than permanent (Rumann & Hamrick,…
