Chief Master Tom Crecelius
“Let your fear of failure be your reason to succeed” ~ Chief Master Tom Crecelius. What describes me? What makes Nick Riddell tick? Depending upon whom you ask, you would receive drastically different answers. Some people would suggest that I am a wee bit… well, excessively “big for my britches”. Narcissistic, show off, self righteous, etc… also may be mentioned. But, some would characterize me as a confident, diligent, unfaltering, and very devoted. Personally, I find myself to be very confident, zealous, and highly competitive. On any given day you may see me strutting through a strip mall or back to the bleachers at a football game in my tank top, khaki shorts, and my reflective aviators. Its likely you may get the “I can hear his ego

    Cincinnatus was a Roman Hero. Cincinnatus lived from the early 6th century BCE into the late 5th century BCE. Cincinnatus was a consul and a Roman patrician. Cincinnatus had a son, named Caeso and he committed a crime. Caeso was put on trial, was found guilty and his punishment was death.

    One word to describe myself would be leadership. As the commander of my high school’s JROTC Drill Team, and the President of the National Technical Honor Society I have had many occasions where I had to step out of my comfort zone and take control of situations. Before joining JROTC I did not know what being a great leader was, but after becoming a squad leader I realized I needed to step out of my comfort zone and be the great leader that my squad deserves. Now three years later I am now the Drill Team commander, which I absolutely love being. I love being a guide for others, to be a supporter for them as they go through difficulty. Being a leader has taught me to be humble, to put others before myself. When being a leader you have to realize…

    In the play about Julius Caesar, Caesar gives a “north star” speech at the capitol. Which shows how constant and how established Caesar is like the north star. The speech shows that Caesar can put his foot down and is not a bandwagoner like the people of Rome, and the conspirators as people who do not take anything under consideration. With this speech, Caesar seals his fate because he knows he will die.…

    Julius Ceaser

    • 740 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Poverty and welfare has become an alarming problem over the history of America. With a Capitalist economy, citizens of the United States do not have an equal distribution of wealth leaving some very poor. The government gives assistance to those most commonly in the form of welfare or a monthly check providing those in need of funding to ensure their well-being. With an unemployment rate of 7.9% in the United States, the government is providing approximately 131.9 billion dollars (not including food stamps or unemployment checks). Helping the needy is most definitely a responsibility for the U.S Government but there are many people that abuse this system and end up with more money annually from the government than some of our hard-working, professionals that are in turn paying for the people abusing the system, which is wrong. My policy brief will highlight the different types of abuse that the current system of welfare and methods of dealing with poverty is receiving. It will also list a variety of ways to strengthen the program providing more for the truly needy and those that are eager to get back on their feet and earn money the true American way consisting of hard work, time, and dedication. The over all goal for my policy briefing will be to help lead American from becoming a country of entitlements and back to its roots of hardworking, prideful citizens that the founding fathers worked vigorously to establish. Our current policy for welfare and government handouts cannot be continued especially with our alarm debt of over 16 trillion we can no longer afford these massive payouts especially to those that frankly do not deserve it.…

    Oliver Cromwell

    • 2040 Words
    • 9 Pages

    There are lots of opinions about Cromwell and they have differed a lot. Historians still disagree about him even today! ‘His cruelty and ruthlessness have left a mark and a memory that the last 300 years have not been able to wipe.’ C V Wedgwood mentioned in the 1950’s-60. He wrote many books about the life of Charles I and this shows that his opinion of Cromwell wasn’t a very nice one. He has stated that Oliver Cromwell has scarred life and they have not been able to get rid of that nasty memory. Although Wedgwood disagrees about Cromwell, there are others that differ. ‘Cromwell was the national hero…the greatest because the most typical Englishman of all time.’ S R Gardiner stated in 1902. Gardiner was a descendent of Cromwell and supported the idea of a Puritan Revolution. This source shows that he was a great fan of Cromwell and he believed that he was the most typical Englishman of all time. I think he might have supported the Puritan Revolution idea because he might be a puritan himself and respected the ideas Cromwell had. I think both of these statements are biased as Gardiner was a descendant of Cromwell and Wedgwood wrote many book about Charles; Cromwell agreed to execute Charles. In this essay I am going to explain how and why his rule has been interpreted in different ways and why he was such a controversial man?…
