JROTC Lessons
We can all help provide a service to others, even if we know we are doing it or not. Some people may do small things, like donating a can or two of food to the local food bank. Other people may do big projects like creating a national park or reserve to protect an endangered species of plants or animals that lives there. This essay will describe what services I provide to others, which JROTC lessons helped me in my endeavours and how, and what i learned from my service to others. I help provide service to my community and others by shoveling my elderly neighbours driveway for them when it snows, since they have arthritis. I also help out the community i live in by participating in food drives and other activities like this, and sometimes

    Each year in November I volunteer at The Basket Brigade. We assemble boxes full of food for the less fortunate to have for Thanksgiving/the holiday season. After assembling the boxes we each take 4-5 and deliver them to anyone who has requested them. This opportunity is very eye opening, it shows you how much a little kindness goes and how thankful people are that you care. I have also volunteered at Feed My Starving Children for the last few years. This organization allows you to help pack food to send to children across the…

    Within JROTC in the second year of being a cadet, students explore the ventures of how to be the model citizen from learning first aid to the foundation of the United States. The student learn how to treat a wide range of the following injuries: bleeding, shock, fractures, burns, poisons, bruises, heat, cold weather, and animal related wounds (Pruitt 39-86). The students are encouraged to put their knowledge of first aid to practice in the event that someone gets hurt. Students learn about the Good Samaritan Law, which was “designed to protect rescuers and encourage people to assist others in distress by granting them immunity against lawsuits...as long as rescuers [are] acting in good faith, without compensation and administers first aid correctly and without malicious misconduct or gross negligence,” to feel safe while trying to help others without the fear of blame for any unexpected troubles (Pruitt 24). From the research of Lutz and Bartlett it states “that proponents claim that [the JROTC program] instills discipline and changes the behavior of unruly teenagers so they can be productive citizens (Bulach par. 4).” When the instructors teach the students about how to become better citizens, student know how to give back more locally and nationally. Student in JROTC also learn about the importance of giving back to others through learning about service learning projects. Legget expresses how important selfless service is in JROTC in this statement, “More than anything, JROTC is about service to others. We want cadets to have a heart for service to others (Legget par. 9).” Because of the high standard set by JROTC instructors, students are pushed to the limits of that some never thought were in their reach (Bulach par. 4). Legget believes that “cadets in the JROTC programs are some of the best student citizens (Legget par. 12).” With the JROTC…

    Sometimes it isn’t easy trying to find the time to serve your community in the way it counts, but the action does not have to be world changing, it is the fact that someone’s life was impacted because of your work. Since I have been volunteering at the Adam’s County Regional Medical Center, I have learned some very valuable lessons. The most important one is that the smallest action could make someone’s day. There was one day I was waiting with a woman in the hallway while her husband was getting an x-ray. She continued to tell me everything that was happening in her life both the ups and the downs.…

    ~Mahatma Gandhi. Service is to help others in need or not in need. I am excited to try to do even more service in the future. I have many ideas for the school when it comes to service. One idea is to help children in hospitals by just making them something like a card or decoration. My dad is working with a company that is rebuilding St. Peter’s Hospital and I know that some of the kids in the children’s section of the hospital would love something to cheer them up. Right now for service I give my old clothes and toys to my younger cousin and if she doesn’t want them, we take them to the Salvation Army. Also like I had mentioned in the first paragraph we donate over three or four hundred dollars a year to the WGY Christmas wish organization. That money goes to poor families so the parents can buy presents or food for their children. I know I need to work on this skill in particular but I have many good…

    I volunteer in my community whenever I get the opportunity. For example, I helped students get to school safely and I helped out around the school. I volunteered at the public library to help younger children. I now see it is hard work to get children focused and help them not make a big mess, but I enjoyed helping them in any way I can. Volunteering at the public library also taught me about patience. Not everything went exactly how I planned it out, but at the end it still worked out. My time at the library also taught me about effort.…

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Throughout my time as a part of National Honor Society and the entirety of my high school career, service has been the most important part of my experience. I have been required to participate in a small amount of service, but I have never felt as if it was enough. Because of this, I volunteer for many hours that exceed my requirements to give back to my community as often as possible. In pursuit of this achievement, I have worked on a variety of projects such as food and coat drives, children’s events, and habitat restoration projects. Each of these has given me something to take away from the experience and apply to my own life. Yet, one particular project has always had the greatest emotional impact on my life. This experience is Kenny’s…

I spent the morning and early afternoon managing the Track and Field events of the Summer Games with friends and leaders from my church. This experience gave me a welcome change of perspective and an opportunity to focus on something greater than myself. On this day, I had the privilege of spending time with some of the kindest people I have ever met.…
