When I was young I would love to run around with my childhood friends and pretend that we are cops. While some of our friend are the bad guys. I always enjoy playing as the good guy who catches the bad guys. I made a very good leader in the group, I told them the plan and how we are going to get the bad guys. I never did like Barbie dolls, I was always into boys toys when I was younger. My freshman year of high school I’ve thought about joining the military because of all the benefits and how much money I could make. My father wanted all of his children to join the military, I never really knew exactly why but I guess if you are a military parent it’ll make you proud. I then fell in love with basketball, but I thought I was too short for it. When I graduated high school I did not know what I wanted to be and how I am going to live my adult life. I did not know what to take for college or what I want to major on. I was a big procrastinator and such a lazy person; I gain weight because all I do is eat, school, and sleep. As I realized that my life started to drift off from success, something pop up in my head that I needed to pull myself together. The first thing that I had in mind is how am I going to pay my loan from school after I graduate. I could barely put gas in my car, what more if I had bills to pay. I did not want to become homeless and to be struggling throughout my whole life. Then it finally hit me, why not try to join the military? I did wanted to be active
Since I was three years old, I knew that I wanted to go into the military, specifically the Army. I can remember attending a karate match and before the match, they asked me, “What do you want to be when you get older.” And I replied,” I want to be a soldier.” When I was applying to high schools, I ran across a school called Fork Union Military Academy. My first thought was why I
joined the military, but is a bold passion for your nation the sole reason to join? The answer is
Prior to September 11, 2001, I had no idea about what I wanted to do with my life. After the tragic events of September 11 and talking with several people at each branch's recruiters' stations- I decided that I would join the United States Navy. On November 14, upon arriving at Naval Station Great Lakes, I did not know what to expect. Over the next 8 weeks I was taught not only things to help me survive the Navy but life lessons to help me get through life in general. When I arrived at boot camp, I was given a complete health and dental physicals to ensure I was healthy enough to endure the stringent activities that I was going to go through. Along with my physicals, I was given shots to ensure that I would stay healthy. After shots, I was given
I was being young-minded and didn’t read what the contract says, and it put a small setback on life. I was studying engineering in school, so I wanted to work in a field that was engineer-related. I thought my job was an engineer, but I’m really the engineer assistant. I thought I signed up for 4 years, but really signed up for 8 years. I thought I could switch over to active duty whenever I choose.
After high school I am interested in being a military nurse because I have been wanting to join the US Army but I also wanted to be a nurse so I decided why not be both. I have always been interested in being a military nurse because I get to help people that are saving us from dangers.Not also that but because it has been my father 's dream. People in this career help injured soldiers during war which means they have to be exposed to dangerous war zones. Somethings that military nurses do is monitor wounds for infection, they also prepare patients for surgeries
I spent my middle school years listening to my brother drone on and on about ROTC and about drill team. I was dragged to drill meets, and to random events that I had no interest going to. Eventually
My life before enlisting into the military I was very different. I was a gregarious person, always wanting to go out and meeting new people. My childhood, and school memories were those of happy moments. I had many friends, went and had sleep overs, went on school trips, had fun at amusement parks,
Everybody in their life has to look in the mirror, and ask this question. “What do I wanna do with my life,” well I decided I want to live a life of adrenaline in the United States Marine Corps. I don’t know why people always stare at funny when I say I’m going into the military after high school. If anything I’d think they’d be appreciative. Considering the fact I’ve already contracted.

Upon learning I was able to leave my enlistment in the Air Force early, I knew it was the
I know that I will be able show others that I am worth it by proving them that I can be able to do the impossible, even when it starts to become callous, I am willing to work my way back up by any means necessary for my success in graduating and being a good student. I also would like to join the Marine Corps JROTC is so I can be able to develop the leadership qualities to enable me to assume progressively greater responsibilities to the Marine Corps JROTC and society. It will also help me build a feeling of confidence which will ensure the free approach for advice and help at home and school, not only in military matters but for personal problems. With these newly acquired skills of organization, self-discipline and responsibility that they will be quickly prominent in my high school classes, extracurricular activities, jobs and at the house. These are the reasons why I would like to join and be a part of the Marine Corps JROTC program and family as it will help me tons and will make my life not as stressful. Also, whereas it will show me as a good role model to my family members, especially to my nieces and to my future
The first time I truly reached out for opportunity I was seventeen, I joined the Army. I had accepted this as my challenge
Over the years I have thought of many different careers and majors that I believed I should do. Most of the time they were based on what I saw other people, who I looked up to doing. My cousin Courtney was a lifeguard, so I wanted to be a lifeguard, my mom was a nurse, so I wanted to work in the medical field. Then I would be watching sporting events with my dad, and I wanted to be a sports journalist/reporter. It wasn’t until high school that I really started to look at what I liked to do and what I was good at.
I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.
For the first time since I was a teenager, I was choosing what my career would be outside of the military. When I chose to separate from the military after serving for eight years, I started to consider what my next career move would be. I started to look at jobs that I would enjoy doing. Once I started to research what kind of jobs I wanted to do, I started to consider what the job requirements were. Most of the jobs required at least a degree and most of them required a Bachelors degree. I then began to realize that I only had my military experience and military leadership, as I did not take advantage of all my military education. I then began to realize that my only option was to go back to the job that I had prior to joining the military.
