Revised essay

Zac Stamp
Essay for ROTC scholarship
   I wish to enroll in the ROTC program for a few reasons, which are pretty simple but also important to me. I want to learn and become a better leader, to serve my country, and to achieve my full potential and be all that I can be.
    My initial reason for wanting to enroll in the ROTC program is to become a better leader. I have had a few leadership roles in high school for example I was Vice President of one of the most successful FFA( Future Farmers of America) chapters in the state, Captain of a Reserve Champion national trap team, and the starting varsity nose guard on a football team in the playoffs. I did well in these leadership roles, but through the ROTC I could hone my skills and become an invaluable asset not just in the military but to my community as well.
     I am also interested in the ROTC program to serve my country. I have always admired the service and the men and women I think it is a noble thing to serve ones country and I would like to do my part. I think that the ROTC is the best way that I can serve my country because I can use the skills I already have to build on and become an important tool that can contribute a unique and valuable perspective.
     The last reason why I would like to be a part of ROTC is to achieve my full potential. Through the ROTC I will use what I have already learned in high school to further my education. I am a dedicated student ranked 7th in my class I have a passion for learning and I take my education seriously. This attitude will help me attain a mechanical engineering degree, which someday I hope to use to design new and more efficient farm equipment to make the agricultural community that I was raised in even better.
    In closing I think that ROTC is a program with a lot of opportunities and something that I feel I can contribute greatly to.
