“When I joined JROTC I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life or what kind of person I would strive to be. JROTC helped me find the answers, by taking part in an amazing cadet led program. It helped me develop the leadership skills and character I need to become successful. JROTC has given me the opportunity to take part in the amazing StellarXplorers program, which has helped me to develop complex problem-solving skills and compete on a national level. The JROTC Cadet Staff helped me develop the skills needed to pursue a future career path through ROTC to become an intelligence officer. JROTC is a home that instilled in me values of honor and commitment that I will never forget.”
