also go up the ladder in the company. Diversity in the military has always been a problem involving women and minorities, but in the last decade there has been a real focus on the lack of minorities in the officer ranks. Women and minorities have only a small percentage of being senior officers compared to the more than seventy percent of whites in the active duty military.

I joined a program called Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. This changed my life. This program trained me how to be a responsible person, to have confidence, how to delegate and be a motivated young lady. The class requires the cadets to present a topic about leadership to the classmates which…

As an adolescent, I found myself to be the type of child that loved exploring and trying new things. New experiences thrilled me and I learned a great deal from them. The drive to learn, explore, and conquer has made me the person I am today. My family descendants are from Cuba and Spain, although I was born and raised in Miami. I can speak, write and read Spanish. Currently, I have a part time job as a temporary teacher and I am a full time student. I carry a novel with me wherever I go and on…

Terry Bellamy: An African American female politician with a conscience It has been misconstrued that there are little to no women in Politics.

My dad’s dad has only been here at the U.S. once, when my sister graduate from junior high school. Whenever, my family and I get a chance to head to Mexico they are like stranger to me, but I try to talk to them, but obviously, they have favorites. Leon and Elaine almost act like children. It reminds me of the movie Curious Case of…

Philosophy takes our curious minds to answer abstract questions. Philosophy can not only play a role in school, but it can also benefit lives of…

was kind of challenging to find activities that better the environment in my neck of the woods. However, in this project I mainly focused on ethics and social responsibilities. The two activities that I have done was one teaching a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and I volunteered at the local humane society here in Gulfport, MS. I volunteered a little over 7 hours of teaching time to a JROTC high school program here in Mississippi. I am currently an instructor in the military so…

Ever since I was in the seventh grade I upheld a leadership position. From section leader in band in middle school to my pursuit of moving up in the ranks to Cadet Colonel in high school in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps to the present where I am a leader for a recovery program at my church.
