As an Eagle Scout candidate, my ambition is to serve others while pursuing a life of prosperity, happiness, and leadership, whether it is through education, religious duties, scouting, or careers. My life purpose is to be seen as a model or leader to others while remaining satisfied with my current situations in life. I resolve to stay resilient through any obstacles thrown in my path to achieve my ambitions and life purpose. I will strive to be respected by those that know me in all of the things I participated through leading from behind (following the principles of servile leadership) and applying all that I have learned over the years in Scouts and my life in general.
Congratulations on your Eagle Scout! It takes a supportive and involved family to achieve that rank. Cole and I park cars at LSU home games and have met a few people from other troops, but so far, you are the first person we have met from Troop 65. Some adult men that I respect are Eagles and give their Boy Scout experience high praise for many life lessons. Hopefully, scouting will "balance" out Cole's life experience of being raised by women and give him practical life skills.
I am honored to be among the students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. I must admit that this is a group that I have been anticipating joining since the beginning of my high school career. I believe that I deserve this honor and this chance because I have worked very hard to get here. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with grades and praiseworthy character, I believe that I have both. My grades are a priority at school because when it comes down to it that is what I will be judged on, alongside my character and attitude. As a student athlete, I pride myself on being a good role model, not just in my home and school, but also in my community. I have participated in many activities that served
My leadership can expect a top tier performer who strives to be one of the most competent Non-commissioned Officer’s within the unit. I will do this by adhering to the regulations, unit sop’s and any other guidance which governs my section. I will ensure my soldiers do the same, holding them to strict but attainable standards and expecting nothing less. I will teach, coach, counsel, and mentor these soldiers-teaching them what a leader is and grooming them to be leaders also.
In the beginning of the book Scout viewed the world in a very childish way. She thought that everything is fair and perfect and that nothing can go wrong. Scout played very childish games and didn't understand what things meant. For example she tried to get Boo Radley to come out because she thought that he was a monster. She didn't know that he just wanted to be alone. She also didn't explain her way of thinking and thought that everyone knew what she was talking about. For example she told Miss. Caroline that Walter was a Cunningham and she thought by just saying that, Miss. Caroline should have known what she meant. Scout saw the world as a play place so she took nothing serious.
Young soldiers need to learn to live the Army values, which are loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. If these values can be instilled in us then we will have everything we need to make an excellent soldier but also a great person. These values also come into play when you are sent downrange because you want to have good fellow soldiers who will always have your back know matter what the situation you find yourself in. The army values also define our character traits as a person and they teach us discipline. The Army Values are a big part of our lives us young soldiers need to learn how to maintain them.
The core values are Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. The Army’s definition respect is, “Treat people as they should be treated. In the Soldier’s Code, we pledge to “treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same.” Respect is what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. And self-respect is a vital ingredient with the Army value of respect, which results from knowing you have put forth your best effort. The Army is one team and each of us has something to
Scout is very knowledgeable about the way Maycomb works, which she shows a lot when she is at school. Scout showed more observance when she takes note of how Hitler’s crusade in Germany compares to her small town. Lastly, Scout has a keen eye when recalling details about her father that perhaps weren't for Scout to notice, like his sickliness.
Overall, Scouts intelligence and courage is what kept her character unique in the novel. It displayed how different she was from other children, and that was how she became so special and important to the readers. Ultimately, her transformation only brought out these traits more and more, and made her understand when and where to use
She has a mature mindset that most adults in Maycomb do not nearly posses, an understanding about change needing to occur in society, and most importantly how to treat others fairly regardless of race, social class, or gender. Additionally, Scout learns to see things from other people's perspective which plays an important part in her moral development. By seeing others people’s viewpoints, as best said by Rudyard Kipling in If, “If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, and make allowance for their doubting
Early on in the book, Scout is introduced as a tomboy with little disrespect. A good example of the amount of disrespect she has for people is when Walter Cunningham is invited over for dinner. She says that “[Walter] ain’t [sic]
Everything Scout does may not be out of love or hate, but what stays a constant is her compassion for everything and everyone. In the story Walter Cunningham “ruins” Scouts day at school so she tackles him to the ground, after consulting with Jem she feels bad and wants to show that she didn’t mean to lose her temper by offering a gesture of good faith, “Come on home to dinner with us, Walter.”(Lee 30). Scout means well but she lets her feelings get the best of her and she makes quick decisions without considering the consequences of her actions, but it is also true that she has been raised to be respectful and honest so when she makes a mistake she recognizes it and fixes what’s wrong. Scout’s compassion throughout the story is very important to her character and what she represents in

Lastly, the chaplain aide would lead the troop on devotions every Sunday morning. He would also bless the food and pray before we went on the trip. All of these leadership positions that I had to be in to become an Eagle Scout taught me many lessons that will help me not only help me in scouts, but also help me outside of scouts. For instance, when we have a group project in school it always helps to have a group leader. This also carries into sports too. Sports teams need leaders in the locker room and on the field to keep people in line and make sure they are doing right. That is how being a Boy Scout and becoming an Eagle Scout has had an effect on my
