Leadership is the action of leading a group or organization. To be an effective leader one must be honest, trustworthy, and contain a large amount of integrity. The traits and qualities of an effective leader were taught to me during my time in JROTC. JROTC stresses its core values of honor, courage, and commitment to all of its members. Cadet's are expected to uphold these three values in every aspect of what you do as a cadet in this program. When I first entered this program I was a shy and insecure little girl who had no idea what she wanted in life. I started as a squad leader, in charge of about 5 people. I later moved on to a staff position, I currently serve as the Chief of staff. As chief of staff, I help ensure that all officers under

I am Cadet Captain Mejia and I have been in JROTC my whole high school career (4 years). It has been a crazy 4 years, from being cadet of the month my freshmen year to being color guard commander my senior year. JROTC has been a roller coaster for me, I loved JROTC my freshmen year. I did everything my first year in JROTC, I was in color guard, drill team, unarmed drill team, and raiders team! I did almost all color guard performances.

It is my desire to attend the United States Naval Academy. My goal is to follow in my father 's footsteps as an officer in the naval branch of our armed forces. My father began his career as an enlisted seaman twenty years ago and is now serving as a Lieutenant.

As per the Army Doctrine Publication 6-22, “Toxic leadership is a combination of self-centered attitudes, motivations, and behaviors that have adverse effects on subordinates, the organization, and mission performance. This leader lacks concern for others and the climate of the organization, which leads to short- and long-term negative effects”. One would think that leadership gets better as you move up in rank in the military but I have a different take. I think is something that needs to be address in an educational manner. Regardless of the rank of the individual, soldiers in the military must complete a series of training before gaining their military occupation specialty and their rank. The United State Army foundation is structure and

I am studying a Psychology degree and this field I have chosen really interests me because I have a passion for helping people. Generally, I am that type of person to put other's happiness and well-being before my own, because it makes me feel like I have a sense of purpose. Also, since I was a little girl I have always been so fascinated with the way people interact, behave, think and feel. I always asked 'why?' and I still do to this very day. No one person is the same as another, we all interact, behave, think and feel differently, and I think this is what amazes me the most.

In undergraduate school, there were a lot of good moments, as well as struggling moments. There were times that I wanted to quit, but that was not

Besides weekly meeting, my time in Civil Air Patrol was spent at state and nation-wide events. I attended numerous leadership schools here in California, along with a national robotics school near Los Angeles - at which I was voted Honor Cadet. My greatest achievement in C.A.P. so far was graduating from Hawk Mountain Ranger School, located in Kempton,

War has changed since the beginning of time and since history was recorded over 1 billion people have died just from violence. Learning from the past is how wars are changed. Kollege is power and learning from previous mistakes is the reason that wars are being fought differently. Then new thoughts of human life, and how to preserve them, have made trust crucial for a strong military. And even helping those who have fought find a way to deal with the horrors they experienced during their time serving our country. In reference to current to US military members it’s important to remember war has changed from the past, the fact that trust can change the battlefield and how the wars have lasting effects on people involved.

I had joined Kctcs criminal justice program my junior year where i changed my attitude and respect for other completely and while i was changing the way i acted i was building a new character i was growing up and getting different morals and beliefs. I soon was a class sea grant twice and i have now been class commander for two years in a row showing that my leadership skills have grown tremendously throughout high school.

I am Wiley Hayes, and I serve several roles with Beyond the Bridges Ministry (BTB). My duties include serving as the program’s administrative assistant, managing the central office, and providing direct services to program participants. I have received training to mentor those who enroll in our Re-Entry Ministry, encouraging them to face the long-term challenges of returning from prison to their communities, as well as helping them solve the immediate and practical problems of housing and employment. I have seen how BTB makes a difference for ex-offenders. It helps them put their lives back together, find a place in the community, and put prison behind them. That is BTB’s mission, a ministry service provided to ex-offenders by ex-offenders.

I Recruit Luciano was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York on November 4th 1983. I am currently 33 years of age. I am the youngest and only male out of three children. My father was born in Puerto Rico and my mother was born in Manhattan, but she is also of Puerto Rican decent. At the age of thirteen, my parents moved us to New Jersey. This was to steer us away from all the negativity and bad habits that my cousins where involved in. At seventeen, with my parent’s permission, I enlisted into the United States Marine Corps.

I know that my experience as has been a wonderful opportunity to grow as a person, and I have made use of this to the best of my ability. I believed I have matured and gained skills, as well learned lessons about life. . Many people my age do not get the experience similar to this. I learned to clean up my act and mindset. I will continue the service throughout my life and I know that because of my volunteer experience I have benefited, and that these benefits will carry on as I develop and become an adult.

year I had the honor to go, along with twelve other cadets. When I finally

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. This was of course something that I needed to change because I needed to have some idea of what I wanted. 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! When I got home and started to think about it on that day, I decided that I wanted to join the military and two weeks later I was at the

The past four years of my life hold both my highest of highs and my lowest of lows. High school can be a very awkward time period in a person’s life. Four years ago, I made the intimidating switch from St. Mary’s School to Algoma High School. There were certain aspects of high school which made me nervous, but academics was not one of them. I learned how to be a responsible student in my earlier years, and school had always come relatively easy to me. As high school went on, the workload grew, but I also grew, so I was perfectly capable of keeping up with the work. This type of growth came rather easy to me. It was important for me to have one thing I could be confident with through all of the drama and chaos in my life.
