Since I was ten years old, I have been a member of the Young Marines, a program dedicated to the enrichment of youth. Aside from my family and school, this organization has had an incredible impact on my life, not only providing me with many unique and amazing experiences, but by shaping the foundation of my character by instilling in me the three core principles of the Young Marines: Discipline, Leadership, and Teamwork and also by emphasizing the importance of community service. I have had many amazing and unique experiences as a Young Marine which included the challenges of promotion to become the senior ranking officer, learning many new skills such as CPR, teaching Drug Demand Reduction, leading and mentoring the members of the Unit, going on encampments and traveling. In my sophomore year, my Unit Commander, a Korean War veteran, selected me to travel with him to Seoul. Every few years he chooses a Young Marine to take to South Korea based on merit.

Attending college and studying to become a nurse has higher possibilities for me to do the things I want in life. College is a great time for students and a great way to receive a higher education instead of being in the acts of war when I’m only 20 years of age. I love helping my peers, family members, and strangers, it’s a passion that I have and want to pursue with nursing. Joining the army I would have to take into mind that in war I will have to kill foreign enemies who try to attack me or my fellow soldiers. The act of killing a person is can be terrifying to me and many individuals.

In the ten years I hope I am not sick of the sea and and still be as exited as I am today in exploring the opportunities that I can seek out to be successful in the field. What I look forward to in college education at the academy learning how everything works on the ship and learning about navigation, marine life, cargo handling skills and etc. The Marine Transportation program at the USMMA is a combination of nautical science and maritime business management.

I am always in the Marine Corps JROTC room and it just so happens that inside of there we have air rifles which I would use it to maneuver down the hall to the cafeteria. I would also make sure I bring a couple of kids with me so that we could bring some bins to the cafeteria. I would carefully and quietly enter the cafeteria, ensuring that I do not disturb any of those zombie cafeteria ladies. If I do, I will have my air rifle handy. I would swiftly make my way into the back where all of the food, snacks, and ice.
I want to be like Chris Kyle because of his perseverance, dedication, and determination. I learned that all the branches of the military work together. I also learned that the branches of the military request for a certain position and then they get what is available no matter the branch.

Another thing that I learned was that soldiers pack a lot for deployment unlike what I thought that they packed hardly anything due to the circumstances of having a lot of people coming at one time.
The military is seen throughout history serving and protecting a greater cause than their own. Historically, the United States would have never existed without a military.

The military gave me a different perspective to see the greater good is more important than myself.
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.

Becoming a member of the United States Army recruiting team means having a physical and mental toughness in order to perform efficiently.
Joining the military was a much-needed event. Before joining the military, I would stay out late at night with my friends and I really did not know what I wanted to do next with my life.

On September 11, 2001 while I was at school, I arrived to my second class of the day where the teacher was watching the September 11 attacks as they were happening live on TV. I was shocked at what was happening!
