Subject: Successful Princeton Applicant
Through all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been es pecially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal belief s and values. Unfortunately, it has often been difficult for me to remain ou twardly firm and confident in a town where most people think alike and rejec t exceptions. Whenever I have expressed my position as a pro-life advocate, peers have badgered, accused, and ridiculed me for simply believing in somet hing that they scorn. Despite all the pressure, I never waivered from my bel ief, yet I became frustrated and began to lose the courage to publicly expre ss my opinion on this controversial topic. To gain some insight and reassura nce for myself, I attended the New Jersey Right to Life Convention in the sp ring of 1995. This experience uplifted me and offered great inspiration and enlightenment. At the convention I received an overwhelming amount of suppor t and encouragement from wonderful people who advocate the very principles I believe in. This convention was so inspiring that the next day in school I was able to relate my experience to one of my biggest opponents on the subje ct. Also, the abundant information available at the convention enabled me to defend my position on abortion more effectively. Attending this convention accomplished two things. It proved my commitment to my belief, in that I too k the initiative to strengthen and support my opinion, refusing to give up o r lose heart. Unlike many others, I was eager and willing to gain new knowle dge so I may successfully promote my belief to others. In addition, this con vention invigorated my confidence to stand up for what I believe in and taug ht me to never lose the courage of my convictions

    Paper on Insubordination

    • 541 Words

    What is Insubordination? Insubordination can have many different definitions depending on that individual person’s perception; It is in layman’s terms; the act of willfully disobeying or disrespecting a higher authority. In the United States Military, this type of disrespect is punishable under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice (UCMJ), under Article 91. In the civilian world, although Insubordination is most of the time let go and given with a warning; in the United States Military, Insubordination is not tolerated in any way, shape, and or form and could result in the immediate discharge of any service member if the severity allowed it. Insubordination in the Military goes against many of the 7 Core Army Values, one of them being Respect; if one can’t respect their superiors and complete simple task, how are the leaders supposed to respect them and expect them to ever accomplish their missions. It shows a lack of discipline, which is the essential for any soldier in order to be enlisted in the Military. It creates a bad rapport for the United States Military in showing how our soldiers are trained throughout their entire military career. Although insubordination is usually picked up and dealt with during a servicemembers beginning stages such as Basic Combat Training (BCT), or Advanced Individual Training (AIT), most disrespectful soldiers slip through the cracks and continue this type of behavior throughout their whole entire career. Eventually if never corrected, this type of behavior will catch up to them and may result in numerous consequences such as; court martial, UCMJ action, loss of friends, family, isolation, and the worse case scenario for any servicemember separation from the United States Uniformed Services. Insubordination in the Military is not limited to rank or time in service; a very famous example of Insubordination is when General Douglas MacArthur, was relieved of command…
