Summary: Corp Cadets Academy

I attend a military school and i have been a part of many leadership roles at Fork union Military Academy. One of my unique experiences was when we were drilling my company to prepare for a parade. I am a day student which places us in our own platoon. In my day student platoon there were no cadets with rank at the time which means we had no particular leader. This was the perfect opportunity for me to take charge and become the temporary leader for the drill. I had no real experience with drilling besides the steps i have learned while being at FUMA for 2 years at that time. . I drilled the cadets in front of the 120 cadets in my company. I did particularly well besides one mistake on a facing movement. Taking this leadership role earned me

Cadet PO3 Scott has repeated minor offenses, to which he has received report chits. He has recently added another, more serious transgression to his record. He has shown that he does not honor NJROTC and is not committed to the unit. The NJROTC program carries itself with a set of rules and this cadet has shown that he does not respect them.

Usually when this went on with the babies I noticed that they would begin to cry. The younger people who didn't look as old as everyone else were the singers that went up onto the small podium where the priest was and began the singing of the songs. They were dressed somewhat like the priest, but just in a different color. They were very happy when they went up and did not have a problem going up on the podium to sing, they were actually very enthusiastic. One of the singers would actually talk right before and after a song to talk about the story of what song they were going to sing next, it was pretty awesome. I enjoyed the songs they sang and everyone together singing sounded even better, it gave me a happy feeling and made me want to sing

I participated in Storm the Mountain which is a night where my church walked up Rib Mountain and had a church service with singing and a message.

Next came the moment we had all been pondering for…the concert! Some of our favorite Christian singers were going to be performing. My favorite band by far was

My favorite part of the concert was the second part. The group played a song called “Body and Soul.” The guitarist played slowly before the others joined. They created a relaxed atmosphere with an old-school effect. All the notes were legato except the melodies of the drum which was staccato. The combination added character to the piece and made it entertaining. At 19:00, the pianist played briskly but beautifully, then the guitarist did the same. The notes became high pitched and the tempo and dynamics increased. After the guitar stopped, everything went into decrescendo and the melodies from the bass and drums became choppy (staccato). Overall the piece surrounded the theme of dependence and how it affects one’s happiness or strength. The piano and the guitar brought the happy aspect to the piece and without it, everything weakened and became uncoordinated. Initially it celebrated peace,

The concert I attended was in Dallas Texas in June 5, 2015. The name of the singer or performer is Romeo Santos. He is categorized one of the best bachata singers in till todays date. Bachata is a type of romantic music that is really popular in Latin America. The instruments that are used during this presentation were two guitars, the rest o the sounds were created with computers which now days is more common that singers create their own beats by computer. There were three girls that were singing in some parts after the singer Romeo Santos was done singing. There was not really any special purpose for this concert it was just a simple tour that the singer was doing. In the other hand my personal and special purpose was that I was going to

I personally thank you for your generosity in giving me your Corps of Cadets Scholarship. My family and I are grateful for your Support

This past Fall we separated and went to different organizations and helped with their needs. I went to Webster-Rock Hill Ministries who helps people in our own community with the simple necessities. They have a big office area where they help their clients and try to find them a job to support their families. We helped move food, clean floors, clean the kitchen, plant bushes, and organize the storage room. It was gratifying seeing how grateful the clients and volunteers were for our helping hand.

For me at my church I have my side and few aisles that I mainly stick to every Sunday, so when we went two rows from the stage I was a little out of my element. As we walked in the lights were dim and the first thing you see is this huge beautiful painting of Jesus. Then you see the monitors on each side of the stage and then the band starts to welcome us. One thing about seating that I thought was different was they had ushers and ropes closing sections off. All the rows in the front had to be filled before the next section was to be opened. Great way to make sure you have everyone close to the front.

On September 8th, 2016 at 7:30 PM, a concert was held at Chabot College, Buffington Theater. A concert was performed by many different musicians such as William Sauerland with voice; Rick Flores with guitar , I really enjoy this performance because the guitar is one of my favorite instruments. The next one is Percussion which performed by Timothy Harris, Joe Bonfiglio with clarinet and Casey Hurt with piano and voice; Beverly Johnston with flute, Eric Schultz with vibes and electronics Deb Shider with oboe. There were 4 to 5 pieces performed by many musicians that I had listed on top. In each performance, each one of them contained its own unique techniques , contents, tempo and rhythms, sound and voice.

People seemed overcome with emotion. There were several songs sung during the concert and each song had the audience just as vocal and physical as the one before it. People would shout and raise their hands in the air, shaking them or waving them around. In a way, it reminded me of the Tarab music of the Middle East that seem to feel its audience with ecstasy and enchant them. The gospel music evoked strong emotions in the audience and people sang along with the artist as they clapped their hands in time with each other.

The overall concert offered a wide verity of choir song, from classical pieces composed by Mozart to musical show tunes. The combination of which resulted in an overall enjoyable experience. The concert was not the first choir concert I had ever attended so I went in expecting it to be similar to the high school choir performances I have seen before. I was not expecting the scale of the concert to be so large. Instead of being one choir and an hour-long program there were four groups along with a much longer program. Each of the choir groups had a different dynamic, sound and feel to it. The differences made it interesting.

When the service started it began with prayer, during the service there were moments of prayer, and the service ended with prayer. Something that I found very entertaining was the form of worship that they used which was singing. They sang a lot of different songs that worshiped God. You could tell who went to church a lot because they knew all the songs by heart. For those like me that didn’t know the songs, the words were projected on to the wall so you could sing along with everyone else. There was also a live band that played the music to sing to. This part of the service was really entertaining to me and I really enjoyed it.

I have a story that is one of a kind. My brother and I were adopted from a trifling rural town called Shakhty in Russia. We were about 8 months old. Some people think being adopted is inopportune, but I like to bless God and say I was chosen. I currently attend Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia. I’m on the Battalion staff, comprising the top 7 leaders at the school that observes the Corps of Cadets. I’m currently a 1st Lieutenant and the Battalion S-4. While at Hargrave, I have exceeded on and off the playing fields. I've been a captain of the varsity lacrosse team for 3 years consecutively. I played on the JV and varsity basketball teams, also holding leadership roles. Now I’m currently on the varsity football team as a senior
