During the middle of my second year in JROTC, I earned a promotion to the rank of platoon leader. Although excited to begin, I had to face the hard challenge of speaking in front of people, establishing my own authority, and battling my own indecisiveness.

time pushes members outside their “comfort zone” and excludes some individuals in the process. By interviewing seven of the sixty current performers, I was able to obtain ethnographic evidence that presents a paradox of individuals gaining self-confidence and self-acceptance, by being pushed outside their comfort zones.
