My service so far has taught me the importance of discipline and responsibility to complete tasks at a high level. I graduated at the top of my class in Electrician’s Mate “A” School and received accelerated advancement to EM3. I scored in the 99th percentile on both advancement examinations I have taken, allowing me to advance to Electrician's Mate First Class in under 4 years. I received a Certificate of Merit from Electrician's Mate Surface Ships Electrical Advanced Maintenance Course graduating with a 98% overall. I also completed all Professional Military Education Courses available to me, not only increasing my knowledge of Naval Heritage but the Heritage of every branch of the Armed Forces.
FBLA gives a new meaning to a student led organization; FBLA gives power to the students that run the organization to serve the community and the school, while developing business leadership. As an officer, I would contribute to its legacy of responsible leadership and continue to uphold the goals of not only our chapter, but also the entire organization. I want to become an officer because I want to be a role model to current and future members who will use what they learned in FBLA to help change the world. It is important to be involved and enhance business skills in order to thrive in the future, whether it be in business or not. Using the power and influence of an officer will further empower me to help lead the members with the other
As Battalion Commander, I have gained valuable leadership qualities and confidence in leading our core as a team in a disciplined and professional manner; something that was already being implemented while working towards achieving Eagle Scout. My interest in math and science started at a young
I felt, I needed to help and inspire my community to stand up against injustice, but I needed to redefined myself through the military and college. The military helped me established a foundation of ownership, which lead me in enrolling in my local community college where I was enlighten about activism and entered numerous organizations to be involved in service.
For example, I had a strong desire to be the Health and Physical Readiness Assistant for the company because I love coaching and mentoring people through health and physical fitness. Not only do I go the way by leading from the front and maintaining high physical fitness standards for myself, but I like to show the way through guidance. I have coached both swimming and fitness for a number of years and if I can help some of my shipmates that struggled with their physical fitness tests, I want to spread the knowledge and experience that I possess. I want to see all my fellow officer candidates achieve higher scores and above all else, be a healthier version of
The United States Military Academy has always been known to me as the example of a great education and discipline. Not only teaching future soldiers an entire spectrum of academics but also building them into proficient leaders. Presenting cadets with obstacles, both internal and external, to help facilitate their growth as individuals and as a unit. These are the challenges I want to face so that I can reach my full potential and the United States Military Academy provides these and an environment that will keep me focused and inspire me to strive for greatness. When I made the commitment to join the United States Army I set goals to serve the country to the highest of my abilities.
Although I haven't been as involved as I would like, I’ve attended pancake breakfasts and I went to Convoy of Hope this year. Next year, I would like to take on the challenge of becoming more involved and even persuading others to be involved. Along with helping this organization grow and allowing myself to grow. I think I should be chosen as an FBLA officer because I am passionate, as well as driven to be a good leader not only for the organization but for current and future members. As an officer I would like to create a fun and inviting atmosphere for freshman.
I am convinced that an acceptance to the summer seminar is one of the best way for me to explore and discover the inside out of the United States Air Force Academy. I want to know much more than the ideal admissions pamphlets and online resources provided. I believe the opportunity to experience the academy life first hand worth more than I can imagine. Being there personally allowed me to soak in the culture of USAFA. Through the limitless opportunities of the programs offered, I will be able to figure out where the academics fit into the scope of cadet’s professional military education.
Although not recognizing this admiration as the impetus to earning my Eagle rank, I consider it the first brick leading toward this goal. More bricks followed as my family and scouting community helped me see my potential; thus, the path and my character were taking shape. As I completed the requirements, earned the badges, and advanced in rank, my desire to earn the Eagle Scout designation intensified. I decided that I wanted the responsibility of that positive role model, the one encouraging younger scouts to pursue their Eagle rank. However, it has not been an easy
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.
First and foremost graduating on February 27th 2015 with Class 002 of The Massachusetts Trial Court Officer Academy has to be my initial goal. Without completing this academy all the additional personal goals I have set for myself will mean nothing. Setting personal goals is my way to achieve the hard to reach accomplishments I strive for. Although there may be one main objective, before I can reach it, I set many “step goals” to focus on along the way. My first set of “step goals” was the application, résumé, and interview process to which I sought out a person I knew whose job was to read résumés and conduct interviews for the company Lockheed Martin.
I am aware that there are certain challenges ahead of me and if honored with acceptance to the Air Force Academy. These are challenges that I do not take lightly and look forward to surpassing
Many Soldiers choose to build lifelong careers in the Army; I did, when I medically retired from the Army after 10yrs of service. I chose to use many valuable benefits available to me. Retiree benefits can help me pay for college with my 911 GI BILL. So, I decide to pursue my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at Colorado Christian University. The valuable military training and experience I receives during my time of service often makes getting anything done considerably easier.
Having goals will motivate you by increasing your persistence and persuades you to strategize ways to best achieve the objective or develop action plans to meet your target. During your initial feedback, you stated you wanted to get your bachelor’s degree because you aspire to become an officer in the Air Force. I believe you can do this with determination and hard work. I encourage you to stay out of trouble and visit the education center. They will provide you with all information you need regarding getting your bachelor’s degree and being commissioned as an
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.
