I am a generally introverted and shy person that struggles with social anxiety and communication skills, but my time in JROTC and choir has helped me open up and gain confidence within myself. Through all the things that we do in JROTC I learned to be a leader, mentor, and gained amazing speaking skills. In Choir I learned to be more confident while singing more loudly and even doing some solos. While I being a part of the 2023-2024 choir leadership team and being in a leadership position in JROTC my last 2 years, I learned how to lead properly and channel my leadership style do lead effectively, while helping teach and build up my younger peers so that they can be successful for their future years.
