Recommended: Tentative plans for attending college

I have been told that college is a four year road with endless possibilities. My mom has always told me to get involved at school, whether it be middle school, high school, or college. I plan to be more involved than I was in high school by enrolling in the ROTC program as well as looking for an auto class and an outdoor program. In high school I started freshman year with baseball. I was also involved in JROTC which eventually became my center of focus. I intend to continue being involved with the ROTC program at Kansas State. Through high school I found a home in the JROTC program that eventually led to the decision of going to the Army. I will use the prior experience I have through JROTC in order to work my way up the ranks at Kansas State and ultimately move on to commision as an Army officer. My high school did not offer much that I was interested in. They had an auto shop class prior to my freshman year and never brought it back. I have an extreme interest in mechanics and engineering, which is why it is my major. I hope to …show more content…

My goal is to find a fishing team as long as it does not interfere with my ultimate goals in college. Fishing, while something I enjoy, is an activity that can be done outside of school in my free time. Consequently, if I do not have any extra time in my schedule, fishing can wait. We all have something we would rather be doing. I would rather be fishing instead of writing this essay, but I know that in order to become who I want to be, I need to take care of this first. I will have plenty of time to do what I want to after completing what I need to first. This is why ROTC takes priority; it truly prepares me for the future after college. I plan to stay involved with programs outside the realm of education. I think that having time to decompress while doing something you enjoy is important to succeeding in

    As a child I did not know a lot about college. None of the adults in my life had been to College, my family did not talk about it, and it seemed like a distant land that I heard about only in movies and on Television. I was first introduced to college when my third grade class took a field trip to Iowa State University, clearly a much needed field trip considering my lack of exposure to higher education. I was immediately amazed by the grand architecture and massive buildings. I had never seen anything like a University campus before. The few things that I remember about the trip were that everything was big, the college students played with us, and we got to swim in the pool. While the larger purpose of the field trip may have been lost to my childhood excitement of getting to swim in a big pool, the field trip did mark the beginning of my knowledge of higher education and from then on I always viewed it as something that I would be a part of eventually, even if it did seem like a very distant future at age eight. As I grew older I developed other reasons for wanting to attend colle...

    The United States of America has a long history of trying to provide support and benefits for the men (and recently women) who have fought for the country dating back to the Colonial War time in 1636. The Pilgrims passed a law saying the colony would care for the disabled soldiers who fought against Native Americans (U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, 2015b). During this time, it was customary for veterans to receive pensions for their service during war-time. This effort was made to prevent desertions and to encourage more men to enlist. Another effort the U.S. government made was to offer public land free to men who fought in the war due to only 3,000 men drawing on the pensions offered during the Revolutionary

I know of students—many friends and acquaintances of mine included—that have the most sure-fire, inspirational stories that align with their desire to become doctors, surgeons, physician assistants, etc. They always seemed to have a story that emphasized their desire to “give back” what they have received from the medical community.

    As service members we have a huge opportunity with the different MOS skills we learn throughout our years in the Military. Service members often transition out of the military and find it hard to find jobs in the civilian sector especially a combat MOS with little credentials or license to transition over. The military is working hard to change that and give active duty service members and veterans the opportunity to gain credentials and different licenses to a broad range of enlisted jobs. Out of about 200,000 soldiers transitioning out of the military each year, about 38 percent of them will need some type of credential or license in order to find a good job in the civilian sector.
