NJROTC Reflective Report
During high school, I committed most of my free time to my NJROTC unit and my 4-H club. In both of these organizations, community service, leadership, citizenship, and initiative are indispensable values that are essential to their functioning, and I like to think I have learned to embody these traits. In 4-H, I have attended, and then went on to teach, numerous leadership and group trainings.

The sororities at William and Mary have a wonderful reputation and are well known for their philanthropy. As a Sister, I will be able to surround myself with peers who want to make a difference in the community as I do. I intend to use this scholarship to pay the dues for whichever sorority I join.
