JROTC Reflection

Serving others is a down deep way of learning more about yourself and helping others to see past themselves. Our Business and Professional Communication class participated in several service projects, which were interesting and exciting to be involved with helping others. As I am studying the major courses of Early Childhood/Special Education, our group project with the “Big Brothers Big Sister” program was very memorable to me. It was wonderful to have fun and participate in various activities with the kids. The environment was caring due to everyone helping each other accomplish different tasks. It was a great feeling to be able to share our time, talents, and hearts with the kids.

I am Cadet 2LT Siomara Munoz. I have been in the JROTC program for four years. Four years ago when I first stepped foot onto this school, I had no idea how much JROTC would mean to me. My freshman year I met some of the coolest and most caring people that mentored me through the program. They taught me how to drill, march and all the basic commands one needed to know. I was very involved with football concessions and after school practices. JROTC taught me many life lessons that I will never forget. Through this I have become the best version of myself and a leader. There are many things that I would have

I was in MC JROTC for four years in high school I've seen a lot of my friends graduate and go to MCR the Paris Island and come back changed they come back with a sense of pride in who they are and what they represent and I wanted to be just like that so Throughout high school I pushed myself I became part of the drill team and the colors are commander I work to make a better today at court so the program will improve there were many challenges I face because I've learned that one of the hardest things to do is to lead a group of your own. But no matter what I made sure that any cadet under my charge was heading in the right direction one of my closest friends who are serving in the Marine Corps taught me that leadership is a lesson that never stops that there's always room to grow as a leader and I see that he was right

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

As a squad leader and a sergeant in JROTC I've learned many things like how to march myself and other cadets, how to teach in my own way, and how to become more independent of me. These three skills have all been a huge accomplishment from the person I was before joining the program. I have become cadet of the month and taught others how to do the same. Although some may not like my leadership

The JROTC is a place where men and women of high ethics and values are forged with care and sturdiness; it is a second home for many. The JROTC, short for (The United States Army) Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, has been living in our school system for 100 years and has created various great citizens of our country since. The program has its roots in the National Defense Act of 1916 and its purpose has varied in the past 100 years from one thing to the other, yet the strive to make the best out of every single cadet has been engraved into the program and the people in it since day one.

The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a Federal program sponsored by the United States in high schools across the United States and United States military bases across the world. The program was originally created as part of the National Defense Act of 1916. The JROTC program is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline.

One of the more notable programs I was a part of was the Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps (JROTC), which helped me overcome my shy nature and take on roles as a leader. Within

NJROTC has given me a tremendous amount of opportunities to participate in community service, while also making it appealing and encouraging us all to do so. I have earned well over one hundred community service hours all through NJROTC. The program has also helped me to become more outgoing and not nearly as shy. For class we were expected to engage in class discussions and get to know our fellow classmates, which was a major key to getting me to open up. NJROTC has made me learn to not be afraid to speak up when something is wrong and speak my mind (tactfully) when I believe something is being done wrong and could be improved. I learned how to be an effective follower, as well as follower. I earned the rank of officer by the end of my sophomore year, earning the title of Platoon Commander. Since that day I have been learning how to lead and have learned to never stop improving, as improvements can always be made. This opportunity is unique and not every high schooler has the privilege of having had said opportunity. My experiences within the unit have helped me to grow as a person, learning to admit my mistakes and own up to them, uphold my commitments I make, and generally be a more open minded

Through my 3 years of high school, I have become devote to becoming an educated young man for the betterment of society. I have been able to do this as result of the United States Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, JROTC, program in my school where young people are pushed to their physical, mental and social limit by being given leadership positions and opportunities they wouldn’t have had otherwise. For one, the JROTC program has made me a more devote citizen as well as given me the courage to lead by example. Most especially, the Drill Team has given me purpose after school for 2-3 hours each day to be trained and eventually train others. The team taught me the importance of attention to detail in every endeavor. I have since applied

JROTC is a program at Mary Persons that focuses on the strength and work ethics as future patriots for our country. This specific class works on how to work together as a team, to be disciplined, and to love our country respectively.The JROTC is trained to compete in different competitions, perform for our community at different events, etc. Although at times they may have hardships, whether if it's working hard to get the perfect routines or working out daily to perform various tasks to get the job done. The skills that they learn is not just for this program but it aids in them to become well rounded individuals. The discipline and the respect that they show is something that will last a life time.

JROTC is about training students to be good leaders and how to prepare for joining the armed forces. In the past, JROTC was about teaching students to prepare for military enlistment. In the present, JROTC is about teaching students to be good leaders. In the future, JROTC may prepare students to assist in the helping of others, training students to be leaders, or teaching students about how the armed forces works.

While in high school I have exhibited extreme dedication to the Navy JROTC program. Near the conclusion of my first year I joined the cadet staff. The cadet staff is tasked with running the entire program from training new cadets to scheduling and running events. I was identified as a promising candidate due to outstanding performance in academics , discipline, leadership, and drill. Due to that, I was selected for the Basic Leadership Academy in Gulfport, Mississippi. I graduated and later went to the Advanced Leadership Academy also. In the summer after my junior year I attended the Naval Academy Summer Seminar in Annapolis, Maryland. At these three camps I learned leadership skills and qualities that will help me long after high school and

Back in my country, I was really involved in different activities in my high school. I lead a project of volunteer job for a rural area of my country for the whole school year. I learned to work in a relatively big group of 26 people and to organize them and be responsible for assessing their progress weekly. I was also the president of my class, this helped me to develop my public speaking skills, but more important to get to know my classmates better in order to hear and implement their ideas in the classroom. I learned that being a leader is not being authoritarian, but a support to others and at the same time, a way to learn a lot from them. Here at JBU, I have had many opportunities to develop my strengths. Last semester, I had the privilege

This second reflection period has been different from the first in that the defacto divides among those in the class have been realigned. Furthermore, this reflection period has enabled many factors of my classmate’s identities to become apparent. While I believe the topics were less controversial during this period, I believe that the selected readings and a greater degree of variation in my classmate’s opinions made this period much more disputed. Additionally, the topics reviewed have ushered to the forefront several students who until now had remained in the background. I count myself among the students who became more comfortable and assured during this reflection period. By now, I am pretty confident that I have gotten to know my classmates well enough to relatively understand the components of their identities that impact their perspectives. In the same manner, I believe that I have been able to participate in these topics more frequently and have thus presented more of my own identity to my classmates. This change in classroom dynamics and the relevance of the readings to my own identity has thus impacted my ability to be more substantive – a key goal I had for this second reflection period. While my classmates have still occasionally questioned the relevance of my responses to the readings, I am confident that my participation has greatly increased during this period.
