810 Words4 Pages

As I’m getting ready to perform on the field, the crowd is looking down at me. I forget everything as I get to my spot. I hear everyone around me counting 5..6..7..8.. and we are off. My heart pounds in my chest as my nerves speed up. I hear the Drumline playing off in the background, but I block everything out and focus on what comes next. I dance my heart out like never before, remembering everything when Coldplay comes on. The purple and silver star flags swing in the air and catches everyone 's eyes. The happiness on their faces makes me smile even bigger.

Guard is very time consuming and hard work. I strive to do my best and make a difference. I love seeing everyone try their hardest. It makes me proud of my team. The hours and sweat on the field have and will be hard, but I can make it. The risk I have made has made a big difference in my life. It has gotten me out of my shell of shyness. I have been able to talk to people and be able to be in a group where I can speak my mind. It feels tremendous to know I have people I faith and care about. In color guard I got to be a different character and not myself. In color guard I paid for it myself so I got on my own two feet on got myself a job. Having to have a job and going to school and having to do guard was and is still hard. I have about 30 hours a week I work and many hours of guard rehearsal, but I am sticking through and making my way to save up for college and making myself a life of my own. Color guard has given me responsibility to reach my goals and getting my degree in business and owning a store of my own. I am glad I stuck through to join the guard and make something out 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.

    When we arrive at competitions, I tend to get nervous. I worry about making mistakes during the performance even though we have rehearsed parts of the show an innumerable amount of times. In my mind, I know that not every single show is going to be perfect and mistakes are imminent, but I still want to make each performance as perfect as possible and to perform my heart out. Standing in front of a large and cheering audience is not the best part of being in color guard. It does mean a lot that the crowd is always supportive of the band and appreciates the hard work we pour into the show, but one of the greatest aspects about being in color guard is the relationships we build.

    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.
