My time in JROTC has been one of the better things that I have done. JROTC has shown me that I need to make sure I have been on my best behavior. JROTC has shown me that I need to make sure that I have honor, Integrity and Respect. Not only for others but also for myself and the leaders of this fair country in which I live. JROTC has shown me that there are many life skills that I will learn as I continue on with my career within the military. There were a few things that I could have worked on from the start. There are many areas in which my success profiler said that I needed to improve on. On area of the field would be the fact oh me doing more extra things for JROTC. I also think that I have tried to improve on this with helping

People form and change based on the events that they experience within their lives. How people react to these experiences is what creates a person’s personality and individuality. The most formative experiences I have had was my involvement with JROTC. JROTC taught me how to be a leader and improved my social skills so that I could become the man I am today. My transition into the man I am today started when I entered high school.
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.
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.
Ever since I was a little girl, I had always dreamed of having a house that had a stair case within it. A house with a stair case, among with many other dreams, have been coming along slowly. Until my freshman year, I did not try to chase my dreams because of the fear of being challenged. When my freshman year of high school came along, I tried to get involved. I got the class of JROTC and did my best to contribute to the class until I had certain health issues.
JROTC was primarily a source of enlisted recruits and officer candidates. Now, JROTC is a citizenship program that is devoted to the moral, physical, and education of American youth in high school. Although JROTC still has its military structure and sense of discipline, it has left behind most of its early military content. Studies of citizenship, communications, leadership, and life skills are the core of JROTC now. JROTC prepares high school students for leadership roles while making them aware of their rights and privileges as American citizens.
“Boot camp itself is an experience. If you can get through two weeks of boot camp, hell you can get through anything in life. Enlisting in the military was one of the biggest adult decisions I had ever made. The military taught me a lot and I met a lot of great people.”
The second amendment of the constitution, the right to bear arms is a heated subject for everyone across the world right now. Many people believe that taking away gun rights is “Not American” and goes against everything we are about, here in the land of the free. Many can argue also that it’s not the guns that kill people, it’s the people. It is unfair to take away something from everyone when only certain people shouldn’t be using them, because they aren’t mature enough to handle weapons. To begin with, many people believe that guns should be taken away because of all the shootings and dangerous events going on all around the world.
High school? It was one of the best four years a teenager could have experience as a human on earth. On my first day of freshman year I had no idea what high school would have for me. As the years progressed throughout high school many army recruiters tried to convince me to join the service as soon as my graduation was over. The ability to join and protect our country is very honorable but the fear of going to war and having the possible chance of dying is not a great career path to follow.
This journal entry will discuss a follow-up with the instructor about the issues from a previous assignment and clarify some questions about the final research proposal due in week six. In addition, some of the problems are the hypothesis and framework to finish the final paper. After talking to the instructor, she pointed out that the self-care deficit theory could help tie up some loose ends and finding resources that support that will help to put my final proposal together. Furthermore, the journal articles and other data collected discuss self-care and compassion fatigue and burn out and all the information that has been gathered should be enough to write the final research proposal.

I remember my first couple of months in the Army were very tough and there was always some drill sergeant yelling at you, or making you do pushups. I definitely had my doubts the first couple of months I was in the service but after a while you get used to it. I can say without a doubt once you get through basic training all the superior officers lighten up and show you more respect. They are so tough on you in basic training so they can break you down and then build you back up into a much stronger person. I enjoyed completing basic training because I had such a huge feeling of accomplishment, also because I did not people screaming at me all day long
My first thought when I think of JROTC are; responsibility,teamwork,and leadership. A lot of people think JROTC is bad and think they wouldn’t like the class but as the years or days go on some start to like the class.

I personally think JROTC is to educate high schoolers and other young people in the world.
I prepared early by joining naval junior reserve officer training corps(NJROTC) my freshman year of highschool.
