I was eight years old when my brother decided to enlist in the navy. I thought what he did was brave and inspiring, so I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I am sixteen years old now and I still want to become a naval officer, more than ever now because I know what to expect and know what the navy is. Becoming a naval officer, specifically a naval aviator, is a commitment I am ready for. It is a risk but a risk I volunteer to take for my country. My ultimate goal is to become an F-35 pilot. The thrill of feeling on top of the world, being able to see everything and nothing at the same time because you are going so fast, and being able to pass through enemy lines without being caught in the radar is thrilling and risky.

I learned that everyone should fail early and often because time is your best asset. from a young age, your greatest asset is not your talent, not your ideas, not your experience, but your time. It is my time to have the opportunity of taking big risks and making big mistakes to learn from later in life because I know they will strengthen me for the future. Focus on current goals and build from every goal you reach until you manage to reach your ultimate goal in life. A goal I recently met was becoming an officer, specifically a supply officer after four years in the NJROTC program. I have earned the leadership role I hold from lots of tireless hard work and dedication. Being an officer is not easy, they come with many great responsibilities to keep track of. Supply officers’ jobs are to keep the unit looking organized, sharp, and fresh. We also set a great example for the rest of the unit, especially underclassmen. We motivate the underclassmen to dedicate themselves on what they desire to fulfill in the NJROTC. My current goal is to guide the underclassmen to a better opportunity for their

In the future, I want to make sure regardless of what career path I take, to focus on educating others, or helping educational opportunities be accessible. An example of this providing more affordable, accessible non-profit chess events that provide a ground for competition and improvement. Just as the introduction of sports such as basketball, these provide other forms of excellence that can bring communities out of poverty. The greatest tool to fight mishaps in the world, is to make knowledge accessible to everyone, just as Miss Moore taught the kids on 5th avenue that one

Remember, if you fail today, you can always try again tomorrow. In the words of Thomas Edison, who invented the incandescent lightbulb after many years of trying and failing: “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” This shows that sometimes the consequence to your action is failing. Even though that is very tough for
I have succeeded and failed in so many things. When I fail, I get back up and try again. I failed when I tried out for Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts. It was very depressing, but I got back up. This year I was trying out for Booker T. Washington High School of Preforming and Visual Art in the dance cluster.
I never considered the Marines because my great uncle was in the Marines and when I told him I was thinking about joining the Military, he said “I loved being a Marine, but I think I would have stayed in the military longer If I went into the Guard from the start.” I only spoke to two branches when I started the process of enlisting, the Air Force and Guard. I spoke with the Air Force and they confirmed that I would not pick my job, I would be given a list of jobs to choose from. The decision was very easy to make and 10 years later, it still remains a great decision.” Staff Sergeant Perez.

I want to give back to my community and help others so I can earn the respect that I’ve always wanted.

When I grow up I want to be Firefighter like my father. Fire fighting can be a difficult job that requires a lot of hard work and focus because property, environment, or lives can be at stake, some requirements are knowing how to operate heavy equipment, water pumps and their pressures, the hand tools, medical knowledge, and all this these tools and operations need to be mastered so there won 't be any mistakes. I chose fire fighting because it has good benefits and a decent pay and most of all i get to help others.

By learning all throughout your years failure will never become an issue.

It is hard to be successful if all of the focus is on failure.
