To be honest I never really was outgoing. I just found myself being more to myself rather than to everyone else. Nevertheless I promised myself to be friendlier in High School.

I mostly didn 't do much in the program to begin with one thing I Learned in JROTC is you won 't go very far in the program if you are shy or quiet. I began to see how cool the program was i tried out for the drill team and at first I didn 't make it but then i joined a staff section .there are five staff section and I was in s-5 which dealt with the program and how people say it so we made websites and poster promoting the motto and diversity etc. I began gaining some friends .I was really becoming happy and willing to grow more so I tried again for the drill team and i made it i was on the three teams. J.R.O.T.C had drills and they were basically uniformed strategic movements that looked crisp and perfect and we spent months learning how. I appreciated people who wanted to learn drill and we 're actually fascinated with the junior military life. We were called cadets, we hung out every day and built a family. We did Drills and staff work from Monday to Thursday. We began to see each other as friends; we spent over twelve hours
