Even though I haven’t been in the JROTC program long, I can already see improvements in myself. I had heard about JROTC and how it affected every student that went to the program, and it immediately got me interested. Before I started JROTC I was shy, unconfident, and undereducated about the history of the United States. My instructors strongly encourage and positively push me out of my comfort zone, mostly with public speaking. If you never leave your comfort zone, you’ll never change. Just one of the lessons I’ve learned. The uniform is something to look forward to, especially Class A. The badges and ribbons of upperclassmen encourage you to improve yourself more. The more you’re involved and committed the cadet is in the school and the

The fourth-class system is the system which upperclassmen trained and oversaw the underclassmen. Cadets were ruled by the upperclassmen who would pull pranks, yell and torture freshman; “…The Citadel is exceptional because the college gives a handful of older student leave to ‘govern’ the others as they see fit” (Faludi 82). In this sort of situation, you must stick with fellow freshman to make it through the tough curriculum and training the school has. For example, in Air Force ROTC, we are yelled at by upperclassmen if we do not know certain knowledge or do not help another cadet out. To keep each other from getting yelled at, we help each other study.

He attended Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, and then transferred to East Tennessee State University in Johnson City Tennessee; where he received his degree in criminal justice. The school transfer was mostly because he wanted to be closer to his family and his now wife and my sister, Baylie Scott. Jackson went on to explain that he joined the military because he described it as his “sense of duty.”

They want to see you grow up to be respectful of those around you; to give you more opportunities than you could have had if you continued to show disrespect and no remorse for those around you. They put you through painstaking tasks that you would have to complete before the sun rose and after it fell. However only certain type of people will understand these meanings and more. For those who show more of a liking to the Military Academy, they tend to be more of those who want to change and show respect to those they have hurt. They feel sorrow, remorse and even pain themselves for what they have done.

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.

So do cadets at West Point all just have the amazing ability to hold out for delayed gratification, or is there something else at play? If beliefs about the future aren’t the only thing keeping cadets inside these Stony Gates, then what is? Well for about half the corps the marginal benefit of leaving West Point doesn’t out weight the marginal cost.

I started attending Fork Union Military Academy in the sixth grade and have stayed throughout my entire high school career. To me, this in itself is a large accomplishment and is something I am very proud 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. I made sure to do everything I could to show those around me, and to prove to myself, that I could pick myself up and accomplish anything. I faced and continue to face many different challenges in my daily life, those that every teenager faces, and also those that have been presented to me because of the kind of environment I placed myself in.

One of the most important actions that a student can take, is to be honest, and self-reflective, about the level of understanding achieved after completing any course within his/her education career. From my personal view, I feel that this class provided me with a great introduction to the MHA program, and is setting me up for successful in this educational program; but with that being said I would not pretend that I was able to assimilate every concept that was presented in this course, I would definitely need to continue to review the material in this course and on the MHA program overall, so that I could be a knowledgeable, and effective Health Care Manager. When it comes to my ability to discuss the different learning outcomes, I have to say that I definitely acquired a much deeper understanding of the material presented in this course. The materials were not difficult concepts to understand, but sometimes the way the material was delivered made it a difficult task just to read through the information, but as I would imagine, we are trying to achieve an education at a much higher level, which requires the processing and understanding of much more complex information, that sometimes will be
