Corps

What I did not know is how much my style of leadership would change. Even in this year of 2017 I am still changing and still adapting. My weakness is patience because I do not have enough of it. I have discovered that my patience is not a Marine Corps result but 18 years of my personal life. I want my Soldiers to never feel shame or fear when they come to me with their weaknesses. What my Soldiers can expect from me is the ability to balance mission accomplish verses troop welfare. At…

Every year I spend half of my summer hiking the Rocky Mountains of Montana with my mom and the other half climbing the Cascade Mountains of Washington State with my dad. I have grown up in two different states because of my parents divorce. However, I don 't have an innate sense of pride for one state but a pride for the two separate and unique mountain ranges that have shaped who I am today. When I am in the free and open space of a forest with the cool summer breeze flowing through my hair and…

In fact, no Allied operation on the Western Front was more thoroughly planned than this Canadian led attack on what seemed to be an impregnable site defended by the Germans (www.canadaatwar.ca). The planning and preparation was very extensive. The corps spent the whole winter meticulously training and strengthening the attacking lines. Models and obstacles were built to replicate what the soldiers would come across on the battlefield, which gave the Canadians experience in advance…

As you might notice from my title, I have decided to place my interest on two different readings; The Good Man and Still I Rise. Both of these reading are wonderful pieces that spark my interest and exert the qualities from Marywood’s core values. The readings are extremely similar and different. The both show Empowerment, Excellence, and show a great deal of respect, but they show all of those qualities in different ways. To start off, the readings are similar because of the strong core values…

In the Marine Corp we learned that there is no way to cheat being a Marine, you either earn it or you don’t. One of the core values of a Marine is courage and it is ingrained in us to always maintain the courage to do the right thing. Integrity and ethics boils down…

city. So being part of the CUNY Service Corps could really help me embrace my New York life but also help me gain professional experience. I want to be in Service Corps because I really enjoy helping people. Plus, I think that it is a good program that CUNY offers, to be able to work for a nonprofit organization within the school system. It gives you an opportunity to work somewhere you will not be able to work otherwise. Participating in CUNY Service Corps…

The “spotlight effect” refers to the way people “tend to believe that more people take note of their actions and appearance than is actually the case” (211). Because we can only perceive our actions and the world from our own vantage point, we naturally believe that our perceptions are incredibly accurate and important, as well as our actions and behavior.
