10th Mountain Division

The sun is just starting to rise. A few inches of snow have blanketed the ground, and while much of the world is covered in white, life outside feels more colorful. It's early enough that few, if any, other people are out, and everything is still and quiet. That's when Tom Gross most enjoys finding his stride — cross country skiing in his favorite, secret spot in York County. Gross, a York Suburban graduate, has been cross country skiing for about 50 years. But he started out on downhill skis…

Vermont The cool breeze in the summer, the frozen snowflakes in the winter. The vast portrait of colors in the leaves in the fall, and the bloomings of new plant life in the spring.

I did my math practicum in a sixth grade classroom over at Emerson Elementary. I had been doing some service learning hours at the beginning of the semester and observed quite a few math lessons. I then worked with a few students but focused specifically on just one for this practicum. He was a student that Mr. Craner said did well in math at times but has a hard time understand why. During my initial interview before I would teach the lessons, I had asked him if he could remember what they…

He had also commanded various Brigades and other units all over Europe finally landing the job…

history took a turn for the worse with its recent deployment and redeployment issues from Afghanistan. An organizational change within 4ABCT is paramount in order to return to its storied heritage of excellence by being a contributing member of the division. In order to complete the change from its current state to a well-respected unit, I would execute a blended version of the seven-step vision process with John Kotter’s eight-stage model to create successful and lasting change. First, I…
