AFJROTC Program Analysis

JROTC has prepared to be a better citizen by showing me the orals of how a leader should act and how disciplined a leader should be at all times. JROTC has taught me the ways that you should treat a lady and how to serve tables when you got to an event and have a guest sit at your table you stand up. JROTC has also taught me how to put service learning projects together so that the cadets or the people who will be helping know what to do and when it needs to be done by. It also has taught me how to be safe with guns because of the gun safety course. It has also taught me how to show respect a person with a higher rank than me like Sgt. And sir if they are an officer. There is a lot that JROTC has taught me to become a citizen and there will be a lot more that they will teach me. It changed me by helping me to bump my grades up and helping me with my

Progressing through ranks and merit badges widened my range of knowledge, from fingerprinting to landscape architecture. Seeing this variety kept me in and wanting more. I encountered other Scouts beyond the troop and I made really good friends that are out of the normal school environment. Once again, the shell broke away a little more.

A Keystone Boys Stater, journalist, and volunteer at the Animal Care and Control Team (ACCT) Philly is what I got under my belt of good grades. I was enrolled into a military academy reluctantly 3 years ago. However that decision changed my life for the better because of the many doors that opened for me. I learned how to to be a leader both outside and in school while also cracking my inner shell. I am a cadet that is always seeking to improve my leadership through various activities introduced to me.

I feel that becoming an officer would better me as an individual and as a soldier. It would teach me many more leadership skills and how to act in such positions. I chose to go this route because I have never been a follower. I feel that I was born to lead and I took up my opportunity to join ROTC and become that leader that I know I can be. I feel that me being an officer is the perfect thing for me. I have great leadership skills and have no problems motivating and being a great example to others. I am not shy of speaking in front of people and do well with giving orders. Being an officer requires you to ne an outstanding person and that is who I see myself to be. I feel that I will be great at making important decisions in stressful situations. Becoming an officer will be a great way for me to learn how to be calmer and not so quick to lash out. I feel that it will teach me patience and show me that no leader is perfect. It is in me to lead and teach others. I believe in being greater and expanding who I am through experiences and learning to press forward. I feel that being a commissioned officer will allow me great opportunities in my civilian life and help further my

Being in the scouts have taught me lots of things. They have taught me life skills that I can use in the real

I was born in Warner Robins, Georgia but, since I am a military brat I have live multiple places mostly in the south. After my dad retired from the Airforce I was raised in Kennesaw Georgia where we still live now. I have one older brother who is studying to become a music producer and also was fortunate enough of being raised by two amazing parents. My father, who retired from

Macon, Georgia – We made the big move at the beginning of my senior year and I was around 16 at the time. I had all of my senior credits for school in Colorado because of advanced placement courses. But Texas had a whole new set of rules regarding graduation. There was a test called TAAS, which I was expected to take with less than a year of preparation, while the rest of the students had been raised and prepared for this test their entire school life. I knew that I would have academic obstacles because the curriculum was also different and most of it focused on southern issues that were new to me, such as FFA and welding courses as electives. If the new high school wasn’t going to be a problem, my new home life would. It’s very hard

Looking back at it, moving from the Rockwall/Rowlett area to little Caddo Mills was a major culture shock (even if it was only a 30 minute drive). My 5-year-old, carefree self had no idea though. My first day of Kindergarten, in August of 2003, is the day I met the people who are like family now. I didn’t realize it then, or even in middle school with all the dumb drama, but my peers are some of the most amazing people I

Growing up, we lived (and currently live) in Oak Cliff. At around age 3, I went to pre-school, at a chain school named Mi Escuelita. My first friends were my teachers; they always provided understanding and sparked my love and ambition for learning. My most memorable moment there was when I learned to spell my name. It gave me a sense of self and identity, which is important.

My 7th grade year I moved to Conway, AR with my mama Monique, her husband Shane, and my three brothers Lil Shane, Manny, Eli. My dad Demontrel also lived in Conway but he stayed across town. Everything about Conway was bigger from the schools, stores, and

AFJROTC is an important aspect of my High School Career. In my Junior year, I was the NCOIC, noncommission officer in command, for Color Guard. Our team was trying to compete in the first Drill and Color Guard Competition our school had been in for the past nine years. About two weeks before the competition our team was still unprepared, to the point where we had yet to learn the competition sequence when our Commander was no longer able to be at school, but I was determined our unit would still compete. I found another cadet to take my place and I stepped up to the position of Color Guard Commander. I spent the next two weeks learning the sequence and teaching it to my team. In fact, I had a paper with the sequence in my back pocket times

This will be the end to my third semester of ROTC and to my college career, it hasn’t been the easiest of walks, nor has it been the hardest. I have made a handful of close friends along the way and lost a few at the same time, but this is all part of the learning process. For myself it is hard to just pick three Guiding Principles that have been outlined from the book, The Mission, The Men, and Me. I believe I could talk all day about lessons learned.

Now I live in Fort Worth and student at TCU and it is an even bigger difference. All that to say, experiences from when I was younger in my hometown gave me experiences and opened my eyes to certain ideas that I think not only make me who I am today, but will help me in the future to help connect with future student as well as coworkers and students' parents in the education field.

Raiders and color guard until i found out for myself that it was built of people taking advantage of other people and making fun of them cause by the time i hit 10th grade i had stop going to most of the programs they had because one time i was heading to class and mejia stopped this girl because something was wrong with her uniform and he was yelling and screaming and i just stood there and watched i will never forget that from that day forth i was always quick to stand up for myself i made that a priority because to me ROTC was always fun it was just

I want to be in the Army ROTC because I enjoy helping others while embodying the values of the United States Army. I feel that being in the Army ROTC will train me to utilize the values of loyalty, honor, respect, duty, selfless service, integrity, and personal courage; this will allow me to receive an education that will benefit me before, during, and after serving my country. One of my goals in life is to support others and make sure that every person has a chance to live their lives to the fullest. I believe that the training and educational opportunities offered by the Army ROTC will help me accomplish these goals. The program will also allow me to strengthen my leadership skills as well as teach me how to respond in times of emergency.
