There are many different attributes and experiences Cadets bring to the USAFA. What individualizes me are my attributes which are: foresight, decisiveness, approach, commitment, common vision,integrity, and persistence. All of these things I use to help my team get the mission accomplished. First of all, foresight, or seeing beyond the horizon, to me means to prepare now with the luxury of time that might not be available later. My Flight Instructor, Col Glen Whicker (USAF Ret.) pounded into my…

The rising sun shone hot on the ranks of the Civil Air Patrol cadet and staff members of the Ohio Wing 2017 Encampment. Though the sticky July morning foreboded a sweltering and humid day, my heart beat rapidly with excitement as we saluted the rising American Flag. As Echo Flight Sergeant, I was directly in charge of the training and accountability of thirteen “basic” cadets. The cadet command staff interviewed and selected all other staff members in January. For the next six months, we trained…

This essay identifies the shortcomings in Allied planning and execution in relation to…

Since I was born I have always dealt with a speech impediment. I went to speech therapy from the age 5 to 13. As I got older started going less and less to speech therapy but I would still go at least twice a month. Th reason behind my speech impediment is because I can not breath out of nose, which is very key whenever you are talking. I have improved greatly over the years to the point where people tell that I have done my whole life that they can not even tell I had a speech impediment at one…

Reality of High School As you go through life, people in this world make many mistakes but also learn tons of lessons. Some don’t mature fast enough to know they’ve made mistakes and some are taught a lesson but have never actually learned it. Luckily, I had a major reality check in February of last year causing me to realize that the importance of high school is figuring out the type of person you want to be.

just so that she wouldn’t get in trouble with her parents. This incident showed me that I shouldn’t be too quick to call someone my best friend. Though the last two examples were sudden, there was one force that changed me gradually. After being at IMAC for only a year, I had moved back to LCS. In seventh grade, I had class with all of my friends and was…

Some of the best friendships are between you and someone you may have disliked at one time. At least that’s the case for me. I hated my best friend Victoria for the longest time when we were younger. There was no reason for me to dislike her either. I just did, and she was well aware of it. One day she came up to me at recess and even asked me why I didn’t like her, and my response was, “I just don’t.” This went on for quite a few years, until one year we played volleyball together. She was the…

Belvie Mabika came to America as a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). With her she brought many strengths, academically and socially, however, these strengths might not be tapped into until we move past some of her barriers and continue to build upon her linguistic knowledge. Belvie came to America when she was 11 years old and was immediately enrolled in a 5th grade class, however, when she arrived here she only had the equivalent of a 2nd grade education, with a few spotty…
