Hey everyone!
So I'm applying for the NROTC scholarship and I was wondering if you guys can help me out with my essay. Any feedback is welcome and greatly encouraged. Thanks in advance!
Question : Reasons for wanting to become a Naval Officer.
The military is thought to be intimidating, risky, and joining it would be such a strenuous task. This thought often hinders a person’s desire to ever join. However, these characteristics actually encourage me to pursue a career in the Navy.
I wasn’t given the family who lived and breathed the military life; instead I grew up with a family bent on making enough money just to get by. Furthermore, it wasn’t until I became involved with NJROTC my freshman year that I considered the military at all. The initial desire of becoming a Naval Officer first began with the enrollment of this honorable program.
The inherent pursuit of a Navy career was definitely influenced by the numerous experiences I had during my NJROTC life. In NJROTC, I was involved with several activities including events with drill teams, color guard, and staff. With every opportunity I had in the program, I worked alongside my fellow cadets, listened with great intent to the stories of my instructors, and I striven to do the best I could in the program. Throughout NJROTC, I improved mentally, physically, and morally. With my high school years coming to an end, I’ve become familiar with what I really desire to be – a United States Naval Officer.
The sole reason I want to become a Naval Officer is so that I can lead in a professional-working environment and honorably serve my country in the presence of other remarkable people. I enjoyed the experiences I had in NJROTC and I only wish to continue it after high school. I am interested in pursuing a career as a Naval Aviator, a job that calls for only the best of the best. I hope that one day I’ll be able to literally reach past the sky and excel with unparalleled ability. I understand that a rigorous amount of work will be put into becoming an officer, but I am willing to put my best effort in order to succeed. I know I am capable of becoming a Naval Officer because I have the drive to pursue what only others could imagine.
