Final Exam JROTC has been a huge impact in my life believe it or not. It has taught me to be strong ,stand up for myself and take charge. Just last year I was a company commander., little me being the big boss. Many people might of not like that idea of me in charge but as hard as it was I am grateful I had that chance to experience when I did. I learned no one can pull you down but yourself. I myself got out of my shell. I can talk to people more openly and not be scared. I think I speak louder too. The biggest experience I can say JRTOC gave me would be jclc. I met some of the best people there. Even though I might not talk to them anymore I wish them nothing but the best. It is always sad to see friend leave but that’s part of life and in life the only thing you learn is to let them go and take care of yourself. They treated me like a family and cared for me as one too and that is something I will never forget. JROTC is more than just a class. It actually helps you in life. For me it did mentally physically and emotionally. …show more content…
It helped me emotionally because before I was actually very depress.
I was going thru a lot but when It came to that class people actually showed an interest in talking to me and how I was. It also helped me be more discipline and serious.(mentally). I believe my character has changed from shy to outgoing, messy to responsible. It has changed me physically because I became more fit with all the summer camps .The running, hot sun and drinking lots of water sure called for that summer
body! I would say without JROTC I would still have been that shy 15 year old girl that would barley want to do the cadet creed! Now I can call a whole platoon to do it with me. It gave me the confidence I was lacking, helped me grow and see life with a new perspective. I would say I am no longer scared of Any little thing. I can actually lead people and know what I’m doing/saying. I built a trust/ friendship that might have been short but very memorable. All that I went thru helped me in becoming me. I would not trade anything for the experiences it gave me. High school is hard enough but having a fun surrounding and people that get you and help you out is a great things. Even with the rules and all it was still great. I will miss JROTC and high school but I am glad that chapter of my life is over ! I am so ready for a new one to start and have many different adventures! I just have one more to go… graduation ! I am so ready for this. And I just want to say thank you Sgm.Cooper for always having faith in me !
As a freshman, I was timid and had little to no confidence. When I went to my first drill practice, I felt like I was in my element. Everyone there wanted to be there, they all joined NJROTC because they wanted to. After attending many drill practices, and NJROTC events, I started to come out of my shell. Instead of staying quiet in class, I voiced my opinions more often and sometimes cracked a joke here and there. Then came our first drill competition, where I was the freshman drill squad’s squad leader. At the end of the day we won first place. This taste of victory showed me how a little self confidence can go a long way. Sophomore year went even better. My friend group expanded, as I met more people through NJROTC. Every drill practice became so much more enjoyable, because I found out that I was actually enjoying what I was doing, because the people around me were as well. I became so confident with myself, and more and more people started to look up to me and admire me for how much I had grown. At the end of my sophomore year, I went to Area Four Leadership Academy/Sail Training for two weeks, which was a life changing experience for me. I met cadets from all over my area, and spent every waking moment with the same 35 other cadets who shared the same pas...
The years in Jrotc was good. Because I manage to be a better person. My freshman year was hard because I really didn’t know what to expect from this program. I was so confusing because I didn’t know much what Jrotc was but I got introduced into good friends. But my First Year instructor was SGM Cooper he help me a lot within my first year because he told me how to wear the uniform. And he taught how to help myself to build characteristic that I thought I never thought I had. But my freshman year was over all good cause I got more sense what JROTC had to really offer for me and I thought I had a future in the military. My sophomore year was better because I had more sense and I was a upper class I was finally let 2 so I had to teach the let
Jrotc has given me a glimpse of what to expect at Academy Summer Seminar. Joining Jrotc was one of the best decisions I had made in high school and was a pivotal point in my life. From that one choice, I was able to discover many opportunities that may have
It gives cadets a hands-on experience of the real world. This program has taught me how to work with others. JROTC program has made me feel more confident in school and also for my college. I can identify a negative situation now and also try to take precautions for it or prevent it. Also, I can help my group work together and complete a task such as guiding the training session in JROTC. I have also tried to encourage my school mates to consider taking their education seriously, thus making their future better. I do believe, JROTC is a great experience if you really get yourself involved in it. It helps us mold our future, and our community's future
I could have taken this change in my life as something terrible, tragic, and sad. Instead, I chose to make the most of it and accept it as a new challenge. I began to communicate with as many people as I could and I trained myself to become a more social person. I joined about every sport possible in middle school and made it a goal to become friends with everyone. By moving to Iowa, I evolved from a shy kid into a much more outgoing and adventurous adolescent.
I have learned how to accept supervision better. I am showing concern for others more than normal, and I have met great people who I can really consider as mentors for me later in life. These people have changed me and helped me see the brighter things in life. Coming to Job Corps is probably the best thing that I have ever done because I was not able to do anything back at home before I came here and now I am getting the education and training that I need to make my dreams come true. I would really like to stay here because I am learning a lot and I have nothing else or better to do to help myself back at
The purpose of the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is to help motivate and strive young men and women to become better citizens. When people hear or see JROTC they quickly think it intertwines with the Army. Even though our uniforms or our process of working
Throughout my experience with JROTC, one of my skills have definitely increased in some areas. One of these areas is time management. Time management is important because it helps you manage your time from work, to school, and to your personal life. I think I increased my time management from making goals on when I am going to do something. An example is, when I have homework due but I have to do chores or something else, I put aside things that aren’t important. Whenever something comes up unexpected, I mentally put a plan in my head that tells me what time I should finish things and start things. The areas that I need to improve in are Sales Orientation and Commitment Ethic. To improve on Sales Orientation, I would need to work on social
What if I could go back in time and sit down with my teenage self? The conversation would seem longwinded, and I would probably want to tell me ‘okay’, just so I would shut up. If I could shake that spaced out kid, with his head in the clouds and yell into his face, ‘Listen, it doesn’t have to be difficult! Things can be so much easier if you pay a little more attention.’ Looking back as I went through high school my priorities changed, from music and friends to wanting to join the military. The decision to join the military changed my life and molded the person that I am today. I had it all figured out back then. My plan, my approach, and my dreams were in front of me.
When I had started school it was hard for me because I was new and shy so I didn’t make that much friends also I had been misbehaving at school. Since I had kept on misbehaving I had to change from school to school while visiting my therapist. I visit my therapist so I could stop misbehaving at school and also to stop misbehaving at home as well. While I was seeing my therapist I was starting to be not as bad as I was when I started school in North Carolina.
My elementary school closing suddenly was traumatic for me as it was all I had ever known. I realized that letting go and moving on is very difficult for me and taught me that I place a deep emphasis on loyalty and commitment. In life, I hate to day goodbye and have trouble disconnecting from things and people even when I know I should. Going to a separate school than my elementary school best friends, the ones I had gone on camping trips with, was difficult. I do believe this strengthened me in my individuality and prohibited me from being shy in my new
My experience in the military helps me complete any objective that is assigned to me. I served in the United States Marine Corps. The military taught me many good qualities including leadership skills, being persistent, and teamwork. As a supervisor in the military I was
That’s when the atmosphere in the room changed. I could hear my classmates whispering how it’s unfair that I have a dictionary, while they don’t and they started calling me a cheater. There was this one kid, who said the reason I got one was because I was Asian. After that day, it was terrifying walking into the classroom everyday, knowing I would be looked at in a different way. However, I knew I couldn’t let this go on forever, so I studied harder than before. I aced all my tests and completed my assignments with flying colors. Then one day, a teacher I have never seen before called me out of class to discuss something that seemed rather important. She told me I’ve been chosen out of a selective few to participate in the Gifted Program, a class that excels above Honor courses in middle school. In that moment, I didn’t care what others thought of me because I tried my best and that was enough. Now transitioning into high school, I took AP courses and currently an IB Diploma candidate. I gradually embraced my heritage and who I am, from becoming a member of my school’s Vietnamese Student Association to volunteering at the Wilston Vietnamese Senior Citizen Center, where I improve my language skills and expand my knowledge of my culture day by
Army life can be very challenging and a life changing experience. It was very challenging and life changing for me. I was raised by my Grandparents they did everything for me so this was a wakeup call for me on life. An independent person was not I, so I had problems with the changes about to come. Army life is constantly demanding and constantly changing without notice. Although the travel was exciting, army life for me was very challenging because I had to learn to adapt to a new system, to share my life with other soldiers, and to give up many of the comforts of home.
I was able to overcome many problems and challenge myself in different aspects. At the very beginning of the year, I was very sensitive and having a bad experience meant a bad life to me. Later on, I started to realize what I am doing in school, and why I am here… I understood that life without ups and downs means you're died.
