Jrotc Reflection Essay
In the beginning of my freshman year in high school I have always been into JROTC, which led me to understand others and be a well-communicating person.
It all started four years ago when I joined JROTC. I wanted to see how it worked and how it was beneficial to me. I must admit it was difficult in the beginning with being shy and not knowing what exactly I got myself into but that quickly changed once I started going to parades and football games. Surprisingly, I actually started to enjoy being in JROTC. Along the years, JROTC helped me achieve a lot by making me work harder for what I wanted and by showing me what leadership was all about. Gaining leadership changed everything. Not only did I had to start putting a standard on myself but I also had to start showing others and my instructors what I was capable of.

my leaders, which led me to gain a great position. JROTC’s mission is to motivate young people to be better citizen and I learned that, that is absolutely correct because by participating and being motivated, it made me become more involved in doing community service.
Community service changed me by becoming a well-communicated person.
Before I started doing community service I really didn’t care about others. I was just in my own world and just doing things that weren’t that beneficial for me and others. But that changed once I started to know other people’s situations. Realizing what the people who I was helping went through helped me have a change of heart. It made me care about others and understand how they felt. I love doing community service especially when I expect nothing in return. I want to help because I want to make a change in other people’s lives. I also want to help others in need and be there for them. I want them to know what it feels like to be loved and be cared for. I don’t want them to give up. I want them to have a better life. By seeing the people who I am helping smile is amazing because I am actually accomplishing what I wanted to since the beginning, which is helping others have hope and faith that no matter what everything will get better. I am glad I joined JROTC because without it, I wouldn’t have been doing community service and helping
others. The feeling of helping someone and them being grateful is one of the best feelings. The combination of being in JROTC and having the ability to communicate well with others is what has made me become a caring and lovable person till this day.
