To me, the Junior ROTC cadet creed means seeking opportunities to always better oneself and to be responsible in everyday life. For one’s successes, others were there to support and guide them to that path. Being responsible in every situation one is present with, and valuing education and information, and using that to positively improve one’s decisions and their life Within the creed there is the line “I will bring credit to my family, country, school, and the corps of cadets”. To me, this promotes understanding that someone can never truly accomplish something alone. Everything a person has learned has come from another person. Therefore, one’s path to success can usually be partially accredited to another positive influence such as a
The NJROTC, or Naval Junior Recruit Officer Training Corpse, is built not only to teach high school students about the navy but also allows student to become our great leaders of the future. In NJROTC cadets are asked to live up to very high standards because those students in NJROTC are thought of as the best of the best and are at that school to represent the military way of life. In this program I have learned three traits that will help me better myself not only in the future but in the day I live today. These traits that I speak of are discipline, punctuality, and respect. If not for NJROTC I would have not been as great a person and would have little or no direction in my life.
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.
As our forefathers before us stated, ‘‘No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army (“The NCO Creed written by SFC Earle Brigham and Jimmie Jakes Sr”). These words to the Noncommissioned Officer should inspire us to the fullest with pride, honor, and integrity. The NCO creed should mean much more than just words whenever we attend an NCO’s school.
While in college, I attend to do my absolute best by making the highest marks on all my tests and later the bar exam. I strive to establish my own law practice that will continue to thrive long after my own retirement. I strive to have a well-nourished family that is both physically healthy and mentally prosperous. Nevertheless the entity I would do that will be my most important trademark and not be forgotten will be my compassion for my fellow man. I consider myself to be a person who values friendship over monetary wealth, and it’s the kind acts, the bonds and friendships you form, the time you take out of your own life to volunteer and give back that is the only way to be truly remembered long after you depart. The rewards, achievements, and monuments may last longer, but the memories you leave behind with the people you love are far more important. I would proudly hang this quote on my own wall not just to provide me with the drive to be successful, but to remind me of my own humanity and the treatment of people today will carry
Army JROTC is a citizenship and character development program. As is the case for all educational enterprises, quality teachers make the difference. Military veterans model the program’s values through a commitment to all of the students’ characters, academic values, fitness, wellness, and leadership potential. The program utilizes a nationally accredited curriculum that supports 21st century skills and core academic subjects, facilitates community partnerships, and ultimately prepares students to excel in both college and the
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
There was an event in my life that sort of changed me and that was ROTC because it’s about the military. I joined it because I want to be a marine and go fight for our rights and next to our county. This class has taught me discipline and respect, they have taught me the way of the marine. They taught me to bring credits to my family, county, and schools, to conduct myself of what I need to do to proceed. I have much more respectful and I’m not a kid anymore. I still have a couple habits that I need to change to go into the marines but I know they’ll change. When I’m in this class it makes me want to teach it because the world would be a better place. I really like that I was taught this because it’s going to help me suicide in life, it’s going
Duty, Honor, Country, these are the words General Douglas MacArthur, believes every soldier, commissioned or enlisted should live by. The use of logos and pathos is heavily used in this speech. General MacArthur has faced much hardship in his military career and has also gave him much experience and made him oh so very wise in which you can see very clearly through his speech. He talks about what an American soldier

“Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work,” Booker T. Washington. In my career as a football player, or what few years I've played high school football, I've learned how hard work can pay off. I have also learned my hard work can shape other people and help others become motivated to work harder. When I spend a couple hours a day tearing apart my muscles to become stronger I ask myself why I'm doing it.I play football because it shows me what work can do for you. I'm no admirable scholar that is taking AP classes and dual enrolled, but I work hard to reach my academic goals. For the next five years of my life school is my job and my number one priority. Sometimes I’ll stay up for hours to try and
Throughout the several weeks in our leader-servant lectures, I have learned many things about how to become a better individual and how to make my future brighter. Recently, I was moved by Professor Armstrong’s talk. In Professor Armstrong’s lecture about graduate school, I understood the importance of furthering my education. This presentation influenced my future goals, and has been the one of the most important lesson I have learned being in the leader-servant class.
Imagine... the whole school, friends, teachers, and parents looking at you like. Teachers are looking at you saying inside their heads, “one day teacher I hope many students can be like that boy who shows that he gave his everything that he could just to get to where he is right now.” Also if you try your best everything you did was worth taking risks for. Knowing that all students should look up to that boy and say “Through my middle school here hope one day us students can be like that.” Is this how people are going to remember you? Is this the legacy you want to leave behind, people remembering who you are for doing this? A legacy is how you want to be remembered. Sometimes people leave behind an amazing legacy that some people won’t forget, but others are not so lucky. Some people leave a bad legacy that no one wants to remember. The one that legacy that leaves myself is a smart, respectful, and a responsible legacy.
An important lesson learned in JROTC that contributed to my success and prepared me for service to others was U1-C1-L3: Leadership from the Inside Out. In this lesson, I learned about the Seven Army Values and how to overcome the pressures of being unethical in my decision-making. Learning this lesson in JROTC helped me because it instilled in me the seven Army Values that I hold true today. By following the seven Army Values, I was able to provide a meaningful service to others and conduct myself in a professional way that is expected for an Army Junior ROTC Cadet. Furthermore, I was able to avoid the pitfalls of making unethical decisions in my decision-making as a result in my established ethics and from this lesson.
We valiantly struggle to do our best, and pass within the necessary limits. Some breezed by on the wings of their genius while some studied day and night to keep up with our peers. Whichever of these you were, you worked hard enough to make it here. We are watched on by these people who have seen us this far, and will be there for us farther.
I have learned what it truly means to march and walk as a cadet and how we are held at a higher standard to the public and my fellow cadet peers. My instructor Chief Jackson has really taught me a lot and has me wanting to come back for 10th- grade JROTC. We were taught how to march, take orders from the commanding chief and how to be more disciplined. I also learned about leadership, community service, and teamwork. This is a great program because it helps motivate young people like myself to be better citizens. Also, since I don’t have a father in my life at all, never have had a father around this program gives me an outlet and it keeps me staying on the right path and track. I also know that I can accomplish anything I want with or without a dad.
