    262 Words  | 1 Pages

    Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout is one of the most challenging accomplishments that I have completed in my life. The journey started when I was around the age of ten in the fifth grade. My friends were involved in the program and so the natural decision for me to make was to join them in what they were doing because it seemed fun. As I grew I remained involved with the scouting lifestyle and went to the meetings, events, and projects that were a part of the program. It wasn’t until I finished my Eagle Scout rank that I realized just how important all of those individual projects were. Each merit badge, community service project, and summer camp that I attended were small steps in making me who I am today. Looking back at those eight years

Although you might have to yell at them every once in a while, you can never forget that they will always count on you for everything. You never want them to be scared of you where they cannot talk to you, but where they know the limit that they can talk to you about anything and when work needs to get done it will get done. Growing up my dad always took care of his sailors whether if hes throwing them a BBQ or having them come over for a home cooked meal. I understood very early that the military isnt about just ...
