James Kostem

At NC State, I was awarded the NROTC Scholarship. In this program, I've gone through a basic training, I've seen the capabilities of our fleet, I've learned discipline, teamwork, communication, initiative, and critical thinking, many skills that are synonymous with success in a military environment. I will be able to take these traits and execute them in the workplace so that I may be a valuable employee.
