Since freshman year, the Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program has been an invisible hand of guidance that strived to bring out the best in me. This longstanding program has an impact on me in ways so innovative, it is impossible to find another program filled with diverse exhibitions of life lessons, discipline, and teamwork. JROTC has given me a lifelong readiness to combat the harsh realities of the real world that exist, which in return has helped me better myself and my community in contributions to being a citizen in the United States of America.

My experience with JROTC began my freshman year at Forestville Military Academy through my senior year at Parkdale High School. At the very beginning of this opportunity i realized that i enjoyed participating in JROTC more and more everyday that passed. Only problem, like others was the uniform. Of course they were uncomfortable a first but then you get used to it. You get to make the uniform yours. It's almost like a new set of skin that sooner or later you're gonna have to get used to it.Slowly everyday you get a little more used to the way of obeying to the rules. This experience has been the most absolute fun experience of my entire high school memories. Favorite things to do was anything involving JROTC. From community service to

They challenged my capabilities, and made me overcome some of my worst fears. Excellence can come from breaking barriers, but it can also come from just chipping those barriers, or even nudging them. My four years in JROTC has taught me that as long as you are making progress towards your dreams, you are striving in excellence and self dedication. And even though your path may get rough, and have more obstacles in the way than ever before, I have learned to never give up hope and to continue to strive in motivation and

JROTC, also known as Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, is a program that is offered in high school, which gives students an introduction to the U.S. Army. The main mission of this program is to motivate young people to become better citizens. This program teaches self-discipline, confidence, and pride in a job well done. It offers many challenges and opportunities which is surely able to increase one’s life skills and leadership skills, such as sharpening your communication skills, strengthen your self-esteem, and improving your physical fitness. Throughout its century-long history, multiple things had changed, while other things stayed the same, but the ROTC program will continue to remain as a promising existence for years to come.

I lived in Toronto basically my whole life. Living in Toronto TTC (the public transit system, also known as the Toronto Transit Commission) is a must. Whether it be going to and from work or making a trip to the Eaton Centre with some friends. With my years of riding the TTC I have definitely had a, if not many gendered experiences. Rush hour is definitely the busiest time to get on the TTC, it’s the time of the day where everyone gets on. From the business men, to the teenagers to the homeless all trying to get somewhere. In the few minutes or the long hours on the TTC we all have some way we put on a performance whether we know it or not, trying to protect or show the world our gender and sexual identity.

Becoming a NJROTC cadet has taught me many things, things that I know will be useful later in life. Obedience, loyalty, and leadership are many qualities that I have obtained while being in NJROTC. Having a structure system in place helps with motivation and determination in having a foundation set up as growing as one. I remember coming into class my first day nervous, anxious, and ready to start learning. I watched others take on responsibilities like teaching us how to march and how to set up our uniforms properly.

"The best damn Regiment that you will ever see." As you rank up in the enlisted side here in the 11th ACR you realize that we really are the best Regiment, but as a young private it can seem unreal and your mindset is different. I just completed the three week course of Basic Leadership in Camp Parks CA, and as I learned about all the different units and patches the soldiers wear in their shoulder, I realized that we really are the best, so I wore the black horse patch during the course with such pride, knowing that warriors are made in our unit, and I say this because all the Soldiers from the 11th ACR graduated this course with a GPA of 90% and above. This was not what I believed when I first showed up to the unit, as a young private I was confused and wondered why all my battle buddies were training on Tanks and attending the ranges more than me, and why everyone kept telling me I was not gonna

Have you ever thought of joining the JROTC? If so wait how about you learn the history behind JROTC first. In 1916, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the active duty instructors with retirees who would teach JROTC. High schools were given loan for federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel as instructors. JROTC has changed throughout the years. It was once used to find recruits and officer candidates. It than soon became a citizenship program to help improve moral, physical and educational strengths for high school students. It also made students learn discipline and order.

I started JROTC my freshman year in high school and stuck with it through recent years. I never though JROTC would ever become a part of my life like it is today. JROTC is a program in which you're taught values, leadership skills, and social skills, as well as a variety of other things (Medical, survival, maps, and etc.) I really learned the core values in being a leader through JROTC, and without them, I don't think I'd be the person I am today. I'll always hold the JROTC experience dear to my heart, as well as include it in job resumes, because managers like leaders. I've gained many of my friends through JROTC as well as developed a

Students participating in JROTC may study military versions of history and civics and learn marching skills. In some schools, weapons training is a component of the JROTC curriculum. Time spent in JROTC often is time taken away from academic subjects that provide solid preparation for college. JROTC program costs to local school districts often exceed the estimates provided by the military. This can strain educational budgets and lead to cuts in other programs. Acquire proficiency in basic military skills (such as drill and ceremonies, first aid, and map reading) that are necessary for working effectively as a member of a team. Learn the importance of citizenship through American history as it relates to America’s culture and future from the Revolutionary period to the present. Learn about the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of mental management, including goal setting and positive self-talk. Graduate from high school. Be good citizens by knowing and exercising the rights, responsibilities, privileges, and freedoms of good citizenship.

“You can have it,” he says. I smiled, I was so excited! I never thought he would give it to me. “Really?!” I ask. He started to look through more of his old things and took out some things and put them off to the side and I also looked through those boxes.

Today was the first day of exploring our musical self.
