Army Motivation Statement

My Motivational Statement Since I was a young child, I have always admired the United States military.

I am highly believe that my professional experience in leadership, management, organization, and multi- cultural skills will be helpful in serving my country as an officer in the United States Army. As a civilian in 2007, I was a plant manager for an animal feed producing corporation. I was responsible for sixty workers. In 2009, I taught Chemistry, Geology, Physical Sciences, and Physics for Shades Valley High School in Alabama. While there, I was responsible for the education, training, and mentorship of over 300 students. As a Soldier I served in team leader and squad leader positions, responsible for the safety and well-being of service members assigned to me. I believe being an enlisted member will help me in becoming an effective officer that understands soldiers.
