High School Experience: My Experiences That Changed My Life

During my high school career, I participated in the MCJROTC program. It was there I met three Marine instructors that changed my life. I had them for four years, and every moment I spent with them was with pleasure. Each and everyone had a different influence on me from their advice, help, and the way they taught. Two of them, Major Wirsig and Sergeant Major Pereida, made the most influence on me with their different approaches in life. Major Wirsig retired after thirty eight years in the service. He is an officer in the Marine Corps. Major Wirsig focuses more on education and intelligence as an officer. He has worked at Irving High School ever since the MCJROTC program first got introduced and been through all its developments. Major Wirsig
Major’s major concern is on education and classes. He made sure we were passing all of our classes before we got involved in any activity. He would always provide me with time to do my homework and class work. After finding out I was currently second in my class, he made sure he did all he could to ensure I had the best learning environment and gave me lectures on how important education is in the future, whether I’m in the service or not. He gave me advice and hinted me towards getting involved in high school. He would tell me, “The more involved you are, the more you would get noticed.” Another major concern of his was time management. He allowed me to manage my time properly to succeed. Without him, I wouldn’t take education as seriously as I do now. He allowed me to realize the importance of education in life and how much it can impact one
He has been in the service for thirty two years. As an enlisted Marine, his mission is to allow us all to succeed as leaders. Sergeant Major has been working as a Marine instructor since 2001 at Irving High School. As the youngest Marine instructor, he still has a lot to learn, but is capable of getting the job done. Sergeant Major is more of a chill and relaxing instructor. He likes to joke around and be humorous when he can. He makes jokes of himself being the best looking instructor and talks about him being the best. Although he likes to joke around a lot, he never gets too friendly. Not as strict as Major, he takes our mistakes more seriously. His form of punishment is physical activity to ensure what he is trying to get us to understand is developed through pain. When he has a mission, his priority is to accomplish it. Sergeant Major likes to put his cadets to work to get whatever he needs
