Why did I enroll in JROTC? I always seek places for improvement. I thought that JROTC would help me to find ways to improve on my weaknesses and help me to strengthen my strengths even more. JROTC main mission is to “motivate young people to become better citizens”, and I want to be a part of those young people. This program also builds leaders.
My confidence plays a big role in the person I am today. Freshman year was based on hard work and trying new things. This taught me to be in control. The work was not going to get done for me so to succeed I was the one who had to push myself and take over. Being a part of drill team has helped me with control by helping others in learning routines or chants with taking charge when others do not.
JROTC builds team work and helps you build responsibilities. You always have to put in effort to get a good outcome. You have to come motivated to class, or you won't achieve many things. JROTC motivates teens to become better citizens. The program gives you challenges and opportunities to become a better citizen.
As a freshman, you might set a goal to just make it to the next grade. Anything you can set to remind you where you are going and what you want to achieve can help you. Another thing you can benefit from is to get motivation. This can be anything or anyone that can impact you in a positive way. Having a mentor is great way to keep motivation because he or she will always be there to guide you in the right way.
The juvenile minds will not only learn about other cultures, but will also get closer to their own culture. They will start developing an affection for their own culture, when they will compare and see the differences. Furthermore, human beings are always in search of better opportunities.

Introduction In this end of module assessment I would like to reflect on the knowledge I have gained and in what areas I feel the course module has improved my understanding regarding issues experienced by young people involved in the Youth Justice system .I hope to evidence how K115 has enabled me to improve my approach when working with young people and how it has led to a process of change in my work practice providing a better understanding of key issues in areas such as legislation and changing the values and practice essential to successful outcomes. I would also like to discuss how I feel the course has given me a greater understanding of and improved my knowledge of how we try to meet the needs of those involved. How we both identify
Chelsey Sousa March 29, 2013 Alternatives for Youth Foundation Since being committed, involvement with DYS has made a difference in my life in many positive ways. DYS has helped me receive my G.E.D, obtain and keep a job, find my true self and build a better self-esteem and develop a better relationship with my family; all of these things that will help me in the future. When I first got committed to DYS, I have to admit I wasn’t a big fan of school. My caseworker helped me to get involved in the GED program and classes held in the Young Women’s Center in Springfield, Ma. I started taking these classes In July 2012 every Thursday.
One goal I set is just to do the best job I can to take care of my kids no matter how hard it is for me. A second goal of mine was to just show up to school and do the work. I am smart and I figure if I just show up then the hard part is over. This is my second time I am going to school so this time around I want to be focus, show up, and do the work. I pick these main two goals because my kids are my life so they come first.
Education is the beginnings to a future. The earlier children are nurtured with learning, I believe the more likely they are to succeed in life. What a brighter future a child can have if they have someone in their life that will take time to care about them and help them receive an education. Every child deserves someone in their life that they can respect and can give them respect. I believe that it is my responsibility to rear the children to become the best adults that they can be and to be the best example of an adult in front of
It was only when I finally entered college that I realized I had always loved working with, and the idea of taking care of children; and what I truly wanted to do with the rest of my life was to teach children with mental disabilities. My career goal, which I have slowly been working towards throughout my 2 years in college, is to become a special education teacher for elementary students. I am currently signed up as double major in elementary and early childhood education and psychology in Queens College. I have taken many pre-requisite classes, as well as several courses specifically designed for elementary education. These courses allowed me to be taught by actual elementary school teachers, who have years of experience with working with children, and the knowledge and advice they were able to pass on truly helped me better understand what I was signing up for as an education major, and helped my improve the way I teach so that I could articulate in a way that would be comprehensible to students of a young age.
