...JROTC is a government funded program present in high schools. The JROTC program offers great opportunities to assist high school students in building their educational attainment and career achievement. The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, better known as JROTC is a youth development program for high school students implemented by the Department of Defense. JROTC delivers a character and leadership improvement curriculum to high school students enrolled in the program, which are known as cadets. Since JROTC is supervised and guided by retired members of the armed forces many people are of the mistaken opinion that JROTC is a program to convince students into enlisting in the military. The fact is that less than 30% of students in the program enlist in the military. The main purpose of the JROTC program is to inspire students to obtain the value of citizenship, service to our country, personal responsibility, and a sense...

...I have recently discovered that while living in the present is certainly rewarding, it is doubtlessly fundamental that we consider our pasts and futures as well - what made us who we are, and how will we continue to improve? The Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) has advanced in nearly all of the fields it is involved in since its founding in 1916, and it is simple to see that its development will not end here. Cadets have gone on to become professional athletes, renowned scholars, and celebrated members of the military; one can only imagine what inspiring individuals the program will produce in the future. From roughly 1819 to 1915, military training occurred sparingly in high schools and colleges across the nation; although it lacked sanction, it encouraged many students to pursue careers in the armed forces. President Wilson addressed the issue of this unofficial instruction in 1916, when he signed the National Defense Act. The National Defense Act of 1916 is primarily responsible for the creation of JROTC. At the beginning of its existence, active duty military personnel led the Army JROTC program; their tools to lead instruction consisted of federal military equipment loaned to them. Only six units...

...The Military Changed My Life for the Better Life in the military has not only changed me, but it has molded me to become a better person. Before I joined the United States Navy, I was a member of Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) for my entire tenure of high school; as well as a scholarship recipient to the University of Kentucky. I had always been an intelligent, skillful and easy-going young lady; however JROTC thought me fundamentals of leadership, the importance of teamwork but most important it embedded confidence into myself worth. JROTC was just a minor stepping stone in my life; compared to how becoming a United States Sailor affected my life. One major change the military has had on me is my independence. My Father was a Solider in the Army and I was the youngest of four children. Even though we moved around every two to three years, to include starting new schools and making new friends; I always had my siblings no matter what state or house we lived in. There was never a sense of loneness or fear, I always had someone by my side in every endeavor. Initially, the military also provided me with that domestic feeling; until I was walked to medical, with no one by my side and I realized I was alone for the first time in my life. The preliminary shock of loneness brought tears to my eyes; but, I realized that just because I am away from my family and friends physically does not mean they are not in my heart. I realized that I was strong...

...Senior Year Struggle for Graduation My senior year and my last days in high school had arrive at University High School. Struggles started to heat up when I knew I had to pass all my classes and especially FCAT. I knew I wasn’t worried about passing my class because I was open-minded for doing everything I needed to do for school. The struggle I’m going to talk bout in this essay is about my struggle of FCAT and how I accomplished it and what I went through after knowing I failed it. It all started just because I transfer schools. Let me tell you how it all started. When FCAT came in October and I couldn’t take it because I had transfer to University High. I knew I had lost my chance of passing the most important part to get my diploma, I was scared and depress about it. I knew there was other ways to replace FCAT and get my degree, but I didn’t wanted to do that. Then, March came and it was my last chance to get a passing score on the most stressful test I ever take, FCAT. Knowing this day was coming I got terrified. Having help from my favorite reading teacher in high school, Mrs. Hartman. She really helped get through everything I felt when I found out I wasn’t to move on with my career goal. When Scores came in from March FCAT and the teacher told me I didn’t pass I started crying and I got really upset.

... Patricia A. Stokowski, Ph.D. Associate Dean, Graduate College Date: November 30, 2009 ABSTRACT The thesis addresses the relationship of class size to student performance in a rural state. It presents findings from a longitudinal study of a cohort of students who were tested with state assessments at grade 4 in 2000, again at grade 8 in 2004 and, finally at grade 10 in 2006. Graduation rates for five large-class sized schools and five small-class sized school populations were established in 2008. All scores (n=1137) were matched across time enabling students from similar socioeconomic backgrounds from schools that were considered small (average class size, n=11) to schools that were large (average, n= 20). The paper’s focus is on the extent that students from schools that maintained large and small classes differed in selected opportunities to learn and educational outcomes. The approach to the study utilized both large scale state databases for student backgrounds and outcomes and interviews with school personnel in order to identify school policy and practices that might be linked to performance differences. The primary goal of this research study was to...

...Chapter 3: Leading Situations 110 Lesson 3: Decision Making and Problem Solving Unit 2: Leadership Theory and Application LESSON 3: DECISION MAKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING INTRODUCTION — PUTTING YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS IN PERSPECTIVE As we have indicated throughout your previous JROTC lessons, leadership is the process of influencing others by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization. Purpose gives subordinates a reason why they should do different things, sometimes under stressful circumstances. Direction shows what must be done. Through motivation, leaders give subordinates the will to do everything they are capable of doing to accomplish a mission. LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK Recall the fundamentals of BE, KNOW, and DO. As you can clearly see, they are deeply embedded throughout the leadership framework illustrated below. The top of this framework shows the four categories of things that leaders must BE, KNOW, and DO. They are values, attributes, skills, and actions. The bottom lists the dimensions of leadership, grouped under these four categories. The dimensions consist of the seven values and 15 subcategories under attributes, skills, and actions. Leadership starts at the top, with the character of the leader, with your character. In order to lead others, you must first ensure your own house is in order. Leadership begins with what the leader must BE, the values and attributes...
