The law and its ever-changing characteristics intrigued me at a very early age. Growing up, I wanted to be a lawyer. My goal of becoming a lawyer was a bit impractical due to my procrastination after high school graduation and because of my past financial situation. Not knowing what to do then, led me to join the Navy. The Navy afforded me the opportunity to go to school while working and it also allowed me to change jobs so that I can choose something closely related to my goal of becoming an attorney. That’s when I became a Paralegal, or “Legalman” as the Navy calls it.…
I am a firm believer of giving back to my community and being sure to stay involved as much as possible. If it wasn’t for other taking time to help mold me I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I pray that through this letter I am able to clearly express my love for this organization.…
This letter is to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude towards my sergeant Stange and Chief Bishop.…
Marine Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) have always been a crucial part in fighting America’s war. They distinguished themselves by taking on the responsibility to train their inexperienced Marines, and for accepting the challenge of command when platoon commanders were casualties. Small unit leadership played a key role in victory especially during the invasion of Inchon on September 15, 1950.…
In the wake of numerous cheating scandals, such as those at the University of Virginia and Harvard, many people have began to question the effectiveness of honor codes (sources C, D). Honor codes can be defined as a set of rules implemented in a school that are based around morals that define both acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. While many feel as though such guidelines are necessary in maintaining a schools’ dignity, others believe that honor codes are impossible to enforce. Honor codes should not be enforced because they are too harsh, unrealistic, and put innocent students in uncomfortable social situations.…
“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” Ronald Reagan’s words provide me with a vision and the motivation to serve others by equipping them with the tools needed to reach their full potential. I have always worked hard as a leader to inspire others. I understand that I must be bold enough to have my own vision but humble enough to recognize achieving it will take the efforts of many people. I believe that we must work to together to keep America strong and ensure freedom for future generations, and I believe this is done through great leaders. The American Legion Auxiliary Girls State provides young women like me a deeper understanding…
2. After reading Anthem, our group had questions about the message you were trying to convey, and the setting of the novella. Our first question is what is your view of women, and does Gaea (Golden One) fit your view of an individual who knows his or her self-worth? And our second question was why did you not specify the story’s location or time?…

July 5th, 1776 - Our continental congress has officially declared independence from Great Britain yesterday. It is with great sorrow as we read the document written by Thomas Jefferson, 33 years of age, yesterday. A frequent reader of this newspaper would know our strong anti-independence opinion. To elaborate, our protection was highly thought of as Great Britain has the most superior military of our world. Our own security has now been made vulnerable with this declaration. Our now independent country could be ambushed by the savage indians. The crown will no longer be able to give us weapons to defend. As the writer of this newspaper, it is with great fear that we may lose many lives as the colonies attempt to defeat our strong, powerful Britain.…
National Honor Society membership is among the highest honors a high school student can achieve, and I am deeply honored to have been considered as a future chapter participant. The program stands for more than academic achievement; scholarship, service, leadership, and character must hold equal weight in the foundation of an Honor Society member. I am confident that my abilities and merit embrace the standards of such a student. I have continually strived for academic excellence with the knowledge that I will only benefit from upholding a strict expectation of myself; moreover, I carry the same attitude towards my animal breeding and showing programs. Since the start of ninth grade, I have maintained college readiness and honor roll with my continued determination to accept nothing less than an ‘A.’ With this drive, I was able to combat my shortcomings from Summer Bridge and climb to my current placing at the top of my class with a 4.26 GPA.…
There are many benefits and services offered to those that chose to serve our country. Some may say that what is offered is not enough for the sacrifice that these men and woman make. Most service members are humble and appreciate anything that is offered to them. The Veterans Administration is a great source of information on some of the benefits that they are entitled to. Some of benefits are home loans, education benefits, and compensation for disabilities.…
My first year in high school, I decided to take advance classes. I choose history along with other core subjects to take as honors. I selected World History Honors because I want more of a challenge and a more in-depth explanation of what I’m learning. I also know Honors classes look good for colleges. I would, as well, love to prove to my parents as well that I can complete an honors class.…
