High School Application Essay

I would easily say that training other people, especially those that struggle with it, is my absolute passion. I wrote about it for my essay to get in here, describing it as my most fulfilling, rewarding experience in high school. I first heard about the position while studying staff lists and seeing recondo CIC as one of the wing positions. After finding out what they do, I thought it aligned exactly with what I always loved to do in high school and it was always in the back of my mind as what I’d apply for when I got the chance. I also have one friend from high school who comes to the Air Force Academy and he is currently a squadron recondo CIC and says he loves it as well.

At the end of the day while waiting for my swim bus I would return to the gym and workout with kids on the track/cross country team who were aiming to add muscle to their runner’s bodies. Outside of school, we would have people referred to us who had their own fitness goals and we would write programs for them too and invite them to come to our home gym so we could walk them through it.
