His superior ability to bring a team together and draw out their individual strengths has always driven me to mimic his example. MSG Howard challenged us to be the best and taught us how to expect the best from our Soldiers.…

High school has been more than a center for academics in my experience, although the first couple years of my high school education started out that way. After being inducted into National Honor Society and getting so much encouragement to involve myself in volunteering, I came to understand how helping others freely can make an impact on the community and even myself.
