“How JROTC has prepared me to be a better citizen of the United states of America”. JROTC has prepared me to become a better citizen by teaching me how to use leadership skills and be able to cope with subordinates. It also has prepared me to be a better citizen by showing me what the 7 army values are and what they mean. Some of the army values are respect, honor, integrity, and personal courage. JROTC has showed me how to do things different from the way I thought things should be done and how to march and be able to keep a company and platoon together when marching. Since I know a lot about the JROTC I am able to help other people become better citizens like I was taught. I am also a better citizen because i have the discipline not to do certain things that I did before I took the JROTC class.

The Hispanic culture values children’s turning of age just like the American culture does. In American culture, teenagers can buy cigarettes and lottery tickets at age eighteen. At age sixteen, most American teens (depending on the state) can get a permit and begin to learn to drive. In Hispanic culture, fifteen is the chosen age; they value the girl’s fifteenth birthday because that is the age that they believe the young girl changes and becomes an adult, a woman. When the girl celebrates her fifteenth birthday, they celebrate by having a big turning-of-age ceremony and reception which they call a Quinceñera. The Quinceñera is a big event, almost like a wedding for the young girl.

Later on in England, Jacob was used as a Jewish name until the Protestant Reformation, making it a general Christian name. My mother most likely decided my first name because she has much faith

Most people have a story about how their parents decided on their name, especially those of us who have less common ones. Mine is fairly dry; my parents looked through a book of names and decided that “Maizie” was charming and sweet and would fit me well. My sister’s story, however, is slightly more intriguing. Cleo Arden Seidl, born on August 3rd of 2001, was named by me, Maizie Regan Seidl, when I was just two years and nine months old.

Many children are named according to ancient biblical figures or even symbols that represent character. Joy did not believe her named represented her as an individual. When one thinks of the name Joy, one would think of a perky little girl that was pleasant to be around. As stated, joy means a great feeling of pleasure or happiness. Joy was not happy nor did she find any pleasure in her life.  Joy did not believe she fitted that stereotype or the definition, nor did she really want to. When one thinks of the name Hulga, one would think of someone that was big, strong, and abrupt.  So consequently she legally changed her name to Hulga when she was twenty-one. She believed she was ugly inside and out and that the name Hulga would represent her well. Joy was a large blonde girl who had an artificial leg. (O'Connor 248).

Jenna Rodriguez is not a Jennifer, Jenny-Ann, or even a Jenny. On Jenna Rodriguez’s birth certificate, it is only Jenna. The variations of the longer form of Jenna seem somehow uncharacteristic of the true character of Jenna Rodriguez and her parents seemed to understand that when they named her. Although it is difficult to understand, Jenna’s name seems perfectly fitting for who she is. Perhaps it is the characteristics of who she is that make her name fit perfectly into place with who she is, especially from the perspective of a new friend like myself.

According to the Book of Joshua, Adonizedek led an alliance of Jebusites, and the tribes from the neighboring cities of Jarmut, Lachish, Eglon and Hebron against Joshua, (Joshua 10:1-3) but was soundly defeated, and killed.

Security is a way of protecting special people or special places. Ótimo will have a very good security system at major landmarks and events involving special people. If there were terrorists and they do find a way to create chaos, then security will be stepped up every time. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, “If there wasn’t enough security, then the rate a term rorism would increase.” Security is important for three reasons. One of those reasons is because Ótimo would probably not exist if it weren’t for security.
