I have the desire and unwavering appetite to achieve perfection, to work the long hours and terrible shifts in order to accomplish the mission. I have a desire to always learn; no matter a CSM or a CW5 there is always the ability to learn new things. I want to become a 140E to benefit the Warrant Officer Cohort and to benefit Air Defense as a whole. To date I have been commended on my technical and tactical knowledge a multitude of times and this will only increase after I become a Warrant Officer. I will never stop learning or becoming better at my job; I will never do it for accolades but, simply to be the best that I can be, to possibly be the best ever. I want to become a Warrant Officer for the professionalism and knowledge in the Cohort. The experience that I have gained and knowledge that I have amounted while being a 14E have given me the skills and attributes necessary to become an Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Tactician/Technician,

I started attending Fork Union Military Academy in the sixth grade and have stayed throughout my entire high school career. To me, this in itself is a large accomplishment and is something I am very proud of. Every cadet goes through many ups and downs, I know in my seven years I have seen more than my fair share of trouble, but like my father always said, it 's not how you fall, but how you pick yourself back up. I made sure to do everything I could to show those around me, and to prove to myself, that I could pick myself up and accomplish anything. I faced and continue to face many different challenges in my daily life, those that every teenager faces, and also those that have been presented to me because of the kind of environment I placed myself in.

I believe everything I learned from discipline, human relations and leadership will only be beneficial to the social work profession. I am bound by the three Air Force core values of integrity, service before self and excellence in everything I
Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army. If it was not for the confidences and motivation of my recruiter back in 2005, I might have not made my leap and probably would not be in this uniform today. Becoming a member of the United States Army recruiting team means having a physical and mental toughness in order to perform efficiently.
