The core values I think represent me the best are Honesty, Friendly, Helpful, and Courteous. These are a few of the things I learned from achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in my Boy Scout troop, the scout law has twelve core values but these are the ones that best represent me. Each of these four words I depict in my everyday style whether its helping someone with directions or holding the door open for someone whose hands are full to making sure that I am polite to everyone I meet and making sure that I use my own work and to not plagiarize someone else’s just to complete some school work, or receive a higher grade on a test. The other eight values that are in the scout law are my best characteristics and those are loyal, kind, obedient, cheerful, …show more content…
To be able to finish my associates degree I must complete my one online class through Waubonsee Community College, as this is the last course that I need to finish my degree. To accomplish my bachelor’s degree, I have a year and a half of school left that I would need to finish before I am eligible for a degree. To test at most police departments, I must be at least 21 and have almost completed my degree. I will be 21 in June of 2017 of I will be graduating in spring of 2018, for the police testing also I will need to prepare myself for the physical fitness test. Finally taking into consideration a master’s degree, to be hired as a police officer I do not need one but to receive certain promotions I will need this degree. Currently I have not considered any schools for this however I would like to try and receive this degree in a master of arts in criminal justice or public administration. Once I have achieved all of these goals I hope to be primarily done with undergraduate school considering graduate schools and hopefully looking at what job offers to accept from law enforcement
Being in the military I have came across a number of different leadership/management styles and tried to adopt some of those that I thought were effective. The values that we hold in the military are expected to be at a higher standard then our civilian counterpart. This is something that I do not take for granted and try to live by our core values. The core values in the Air Force are what guide our organization and something that I have tried to represent my whole Air Force career. “In May 1995, then-Secretary of the Air Force Sheila Widnall, and then-Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. Ronald Fogleman, established the Air Force Core Values: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do.” If you as a manager can abide by these values while supervising your people, no matter how many that would be, then morally you can feel like you did your best as a manager.
Young soldiers need to learn to live the Army values, which are loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. If these values can be instilled in us then we will have everything we need to make an excellent soldier but also a great person. These values also come into play when you are sent downrange because you want to have good fellow soldiers who will always have your back know matter what the situation you find yourself in. The army values also define our character traits as a person and they teach us discipline. The Army Values are a big part of our lives us young soldiers need to learn how to maintain them.
Supporters of police professionalization want to raise police education requirements as the solution. Many support raising the education requirement to a four year degree. Over half of the police officers in Minnesota already have four year degrees. Additionally, some police departments already have strict education requirements, like Arlington, Texas. The Arlington, Texas Police Department has instituted a set of strict hiring standards including the possession of a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college by every single police officer (Arlington Police Department 2013). This is quite unique, especially for the state of Texas, which only requires a high school diploma or GED for police licensure.
“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader… They set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role. It’s always about the goal.”― Author Unknown. There are many reasons why I qualify for the rank of Eagle Scout. Some of these reasons include my life ambitions and purpose, the positions I’ve held in other organizations other than Boy Scouts, and awards and honors that I’ve earned in these organizations.
I have tried to make both my school and my community a better place. I participate in a few group that try and help to better the community. First off, I am in National Honors Society. I volunteer with group activities and other volunteering opportunities such as unpaid elementary math tutoring. Second, I am almost finished my Eagle Scout Project, and this requires a lasting impression on your community. My project is about music and its effect on the elderly, and relating it to memory disorders, in hopes of improving their way of life. Third, most of my volunteering in the community is independent of an organization. I volunteer my violin skills to a group in need or a couple who does not have the money to pay some musicians. I donate my time
I am Jacob Heeter, member of Troop 56, from Knox, PA. I did my Eagle Scout Project making a handicap accessible walkway from the road to the building at Camp Coffman, Cranberry, PA. I have many ambitions after becoming an Eagle Scout, based around short term goals, after graduation, and career choices.
I will hopefully be earning my Eagle Scout very soon. For two years I served as the Senior Patrol leader who was in charge of the troop and The 4 Way test helped guide me through. A scout is trustworthy, so I do my best to always tell the truth. As senior patrol leader I could sign off on advancement requirements. I had to tell truth and only sign off on requirements that were truly done, so I couldn’t lie and help my friends. A scout obedient meaning I had to be fair to everyone and obey all rules, so I was fair to all and gave everyone the same treatment and only signed off on a requirement when I felt they had completed it. A scout is friendly so I always act in goodwill of the other scouts. I worked with younger scouts so they could complete requirements and rise in their ranks building friendships with them along the way. Finally, a scout is courteous meaning I treated everyone with respect regardless of any factors such as age. Which was beneficial to all as it provided a pleasant scouting experience to
The feeling of being overwhelmed was a constant struggle, but I surprised myself that with hard work I was able to make good grades. Fast forward a year, and I was faced with a difficult choice- choosing between starting the fall semester in 2012 or the possibility of the entering the NYS Park Police Academy in Rensselaerville, NY. I bring in vast knowledge and experience in the criminal justice field, but I do not have the further education that I would need in order to pursue an Investigator or Probation officer. I come to Empire with my Associates Degree in Applied Science and with certified police officer training status from New York State. One other area that has decreased my goals is the fact that there are civil services examinations that are required for these positions.
Leadership is a personal trait that holds great importance in our society, yet many people struggle with it. My leaderships skills amount with other skills were greatly enhanced in Boy Scouts, specifically during my Eagle Scout Project. The project lasted over a year and had many moving parts. The objective was to replace the sign at the local elementary school, which was not an easy task. Due to the challenges this project presented, my leadership skills were tested in many ways. I’ve worked with my fellow scouts for years, but when it came to leading adults and family friends it was a whole new experience for me. However, leading the scouts did come with the issue of needing great supervising skills as a younger boy will try to do something
I had waited too long to work on the achievements to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. I was down to my final two months and I had one month worth of rank requirements, one month of essays to write for colleges, and loads of homework on top of that. I knew several scouts that ran out of time and couldn’t reach the rank of Eagle. They fell short when no one expected them to. This couldn’t be me. I had worked too hard to never reach the rank of Eagle. While under an immense amount of pressure, I was able to organize what needed to be done first and still complete everything on time. I was able to manage all the work that I had in front of me. Then I worked efficiently and completed everything that I had to do before all of the due dates. Because
As I have researched this topic before this project. Sadly, I know one cannot come straight tfrom college and become a detective. I must have several years experience as being a regular cop before moving up in the department. My plan; I am currently enlisted in the National Guard as an intelligence analyst. I leave August 8, 2018 for six months training and when I return I can begin my college at McNeese where I will have tuition exemption. Being in intelligence will help me gain the right experience much swifter. When I am 21 I will be eligible to change my Guard job to criminal investigator. I will have my bachelors within 3 years and can begin my civilian career as a homicide
Living my life as an Eagle Scout and my grandmother being a nurse from the Philippines, Its been in my blood to be a strong care taker. Having Christ be the center of my heart has rounded my faithfulness and shaped me to the individual I am today. Ever since I first started walking I’ve loved having a voice, I enjoy working with people and selling anything I could. When I was five years old I went door to door selling bottles of water that I acquired from my families fridge and also selling paper plates with hand drawn smiley faces on the center. Salesmanship started my drive of enjoying the science behind business and communication, I strongly enjoyed having lemonade stands throughout the summer and Fall.
Some more core values of mine are teamwork, compassion, cleanliness, family, persistence, stability, positive attitude, punctuality and determination. It is important to enjoy teamwork because that can help make certain jobs less of a burden. Having compassion for others is important because you can learn new things from others and possibly get a different view on things. Cleanliness is important to me because It keeps my body healthy and fresh of foul odors. Family is a big one for me because they are what can usually always come back to for support and help with things in life.
My core values will outline all of the decisions that I will come across in my personal life, as well in my career. Being true to my core vales will bring out my true character and keep me motivated. Understanding and living my core values will open the door to more inspiration in my life. Finally living up to my core values allows me, to get more of the right things done and enjoy the journey more.
Values may be defined as those abilities that an individual or society considers important as ethics for conduct and that are certainly valuable. These values are important for the necessary formation of positive attitudes, which in turn affect the accomplishment and use of values. Values can vary across societies, as different social and economic surroundings in different geographical locations may lead to different value emphases. Some essential values, I can teach on the topic “my school” for social studies are respect, responsibility and honesty.
