The day when my school's NJROTC unit came to visit my middle school forever changed my life. I was estatic about becoming a cadet and serving my community. I began my NJROTC experience as a Cadet Seaman Recruit and quickly promoted through the ranks. At this current moment, I have over 50 community service since freshman year. I have been apart of every team that we offer and mentor other younger cadets not only for unit advice but for life in general.
Inducted into the HSF Alumni Hall of Fame is the first Puerto Rican woman elected to Boston’s City Council, Sofia Meadows-Muriel. As early as high school, Sofia was heavily involved in leadership programs and public service. She was elected Vice President of her class and was the only female and person of color as class officer. She was awarded the Seevak Fellowship, a summer internship at social justice institutes in Boston. She was assigned as an intern to the Community Service Department (CSD) of MassHousing, an organization which focuses on financing affordable housing.
and again I went to summer camp but this time I could only go to one because JCLC collided with the date of COLP and in my opinion COLP is the better camp if you want to learn how to be an officer and I was placed in a position of “Senior Ops” so I was assigning the duties of the day to the other operation officers
and I had a lot of fun doing it. I would not be able to work full time at a Boy Scout Camp again until the summer of 2014. The shooting sports Director at Camp Henson in the Delmarva Council was also my NRA certified instructor, councilor. I was laid off from work at the
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.
Have you ever been a part of something that made you feel special and accepted? Did you look forward to going to meetings to see what your next fun adventure with the group would be? You may not realize it at the time, but these groups or clubs are teaching you a variety of skills and lessons, that you’ll continue to use throughout your life. I believe that the FFA organization is the best group to be a part of. Not only do you learn so many helpful skills, but it goes above and beyond teaching the agricultural ways of our country through contests, social events, and even giving awards and scholarships!
I joined the National FFA Organization March of my sophomore year in 2015. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, just that my teacher needed another participant for the Vet Science CDE. I agreed to come to practice and eventually compete at the state contest. This was the beginning of my FFA career. We won the state contest, and worked through the summer to head to National Convention that fall and finish with a gold-rating.
I had no idea what I was doing at the age of 18 of I was ready for a change. My first Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) was an Engineer a 12 Charlie; Bridge Crew member. My first duty station was Korea. My leadership in Korea was phenomenal, the comrade between the soldiers in the platoon was that kind of a relationship between siblings that respected and cared for each other regardless of the misunderstandings. My supervisors respected the privacy of every soldier within the platoon, I was never a witness of a soldiers being bash by a supervisor in front of their peers.
I will add to the team by being 100% dedicated to doing my part and always giving my best effort so that I can help bring added success to the amazing Cheer

I prepared early by joining naval junior reserve officer training corps(NJROTC) my freshman year of highschool. I joined and competed in many activities such as air rifle, armed drill exhibition, chain gang, community service, and orienteering. The unit taught me discipline and how to become a leader. It gave me the advantage I desired to be one step closer to becoming a Marine.
Even when it was off season I was helping in every way I could like volunteering for band camps that taught little kids how to play the french horn. There was not a doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t get it. With that, I turned in my application as soon as I could. The list of leaders was posted the next week and I could hardly wait. I remember when he put it up, as I was waiting there and was one of the firsts to
I will also have to help appoint leaders or captains of the team that will lead the team on and off the field. Leadership is one of the most important functions of a football
In that first year of being a scout I was extremely active, serving as troop guide and achieving the rank of scout. I made it to the rank of first class just in time to go to the National Jamboree in 2013. Before I went I was inducted into the OA as well. This was one of my first major expeditions in my scouting career and I enjoyed most of my
To promote a team effort, I will appeal for others to share their visions and exciting dreams of the future. 2. I will experiment and take risks, even when there is a chance of failure. Feedback is very important to leadership growth and for change to take place. I will ask what can we learn, when things don’t go as expected.
