251 Words1 Page

At the beginning of the Academy, I was very anxious and nervous of the entire situation. Within the first two hours of the first day, Captain Gatlin gave introduction and scared us to death. But, overall he was a great inspiration and motivation throughout the Academy. The academic lead instructors Corporal Peppers and Sargent King performed exceptionally well and were a wealth of knowledge. While being very strict during the Academy they were also fair. Physical Training was a portion of the Academy that I enjoyed, Sargent Bradley and Sargent Cooper were very informative and through. Throughout the academy there were several guest instructors that performed very well. Trooper Lemmons instructed the DUI class and was very explanatory and

Another common belief is, the higher someone goes with their education, the more successful they ought to be. Some may even question if school really makes anyone smarter or not.

    For years I have aspired to become a part of an elite organization such as the military, and more importantly, the United States Navy. Its reputation for instilling high moral character was encouragement for me to develop into a more mature, responsible, and independent young citizen. There are certain qualities that an officer must possess such as: honor, courage, commitment, and attention to duty, responsiveness to orders, cooperation, loyalty, leadership, integrity, and discipline. Throughout my high school career, I showcased these qualities while an active member of The American Legion of Ohio Buckeye Boy’s State, The National Honor Society, as a leader in the Ohio State Highway Patrol Junior Cadets, Clay and Waite High School Marching Band Alumni, Quiz Bowl, and Top Ten Scholars. I was actively involved in charitable activities such as Math and SOS tutoring, community volunteering, and the Indian 100 Leadership Team, (a volunteer organization on my high school campus).

    Many Americans do not question the credibility of the education system within the country because they believe it forms good citizens and creates a stepping-stone to success. John Taylor Gatto is an American teacher who has experience in the classroom for thirty years and has now devoted his life to critiquing American schools exploiting his own experiences. In his essay “Against School”, he argues that the 12-year system of school may not be necessary, due to its curriculum, and that it may be a tactic of manipulation from the government to promote obedience. I agree with his argument because there are many paths to individual success outside of public education, such as homeschooling or vocational school.

What stood out the most to me is there is always a bigger picture too look at and help you choose the reasons behind your actions.

The good thing about that I could pick out some things I like about the good supervisors and apply it in my own way as I made my way through the ranks.
