Marine Officer Essay
What makes a truly good leader?
A truly good leader needs to be Honest. Honesty is one of the vital parts of being a leader- it symbolizes trust, and overall- Respect.
A leader always needs to be competent. For one to be competent, you need the necessary ability, and attitude, to accomplish a task strongly and successfully.
Leaders need to be inspiring to their followers, or peers. In other words, they must form a bond, or set an example.
When being a leader, one also must be intelligent. To be intelligent, you need to be able to make good decisions, and carry them out faithfully, and carefully.
The last but certainly not least characteristic is to be forward-looking. To have this, a person needs to be able to plan ahead of time, and always be aware of all possibilities. Presenters, business people, and representatives show these characteristics.
One type person that truly sticks out of this group is The United States Marine Officer. They are all of these things and more. They obtain the highest degree of honor, courage, and commitment, and physical fitness.
For Marines, honor means being held to the highest standards, ethically and morally. Respect for others is essential. Marines are expected to act responsibly, and in a mature and dependable manner (MarineOfficer.com).
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to face fear and overcome it. It is the mental, moral and physical strength ingrained in every Marine. It steadies them in times of stress, carries them through every challenge and aids them in facing new and unknown confrontations (MarineOfficer.com).
Commitment is the spirit of determination and dedication found in every Marine. It is what compels them to serve our country and the Marine Corps. Every aspect of life in the Marine Corps shows commitment, from the high standard of excellence to vigilance in training (MarineOfficer.com).
Why I want to Become a Marine Officer
These reasons and more are the reasons for my applying for this position. There are many more. But In order to comprehend my reasoning for wanting this position, you must understand my past. In the year of 1997, I was adopted from the poor Russian town of Kovrov. And when I was adopted from that town, I was brought to the Promise Land for numerous immigrants, The United States Of America. I am one of the very few people who truly realize what it truly means to be free. I have continuously believed that I am in great debt to my country. I was once told of a gentleman on the plane that I began my long journey home on. That gentleman told my mother “he doesn’t realize it– but he has just won the lottery”. To this day that quote is thought about, and always will be recalled. Even though this is a great reasoning- there is much more to it than just that.
Another important reason for applying for this position is to bring honor to me, my family, and my country. My Great Uncle, Jim Giess, was an Enlisted United States Marine. To this very day he takes very much pride in his service in Korea, and I wish to feel that life-long pride, and feeling of accomplishment. My grandfather served in the United States Army in World War II, and my grandmother is so proud to say her husband survived an enormous catastrophe- he was stationed in Hawaii and Germany during the war.
Alongside all of this- I believe that obtaining the position of a United States Marine Officer will make me a better, more well-balanced person- inside and out. I feel I am capable of accomplishing more great tasks in the future, near and far, just as the two gentlemen mentioned above surely did, by taking this contenting and meaningful, life-long path. I believe I’m doing this to better myself, my distinct personality, and country, all in one.
What I have to offer
I myself hope to offer my leadership abilities, my hard-earned responsibility, care, and perhaps my well-balanced life, to the Marine Corps. I also feel my responsibility skill level, and overall perseverance based attitude, will make me a good, well-managed asset in the United States Marine Corps. I am what many people commonly referred as a quiet, yet powerful leader. For instance, I lead by setting example. I set an example as an out standing citizen, student, and person of character, by taking every study group opportunity available to me, any chance I get I take advantage of. In school or any other place, in hopes my peers will follow my distinct path of purpose. I am very outgoing, and willing to step forward for my fellow man, whenever the time is necessary.
How I use these skills
I have used these skills multiple times every day; it truly shows in my academics. In grade school I always took the time to make sure of myself and of my decisions- always took the opportunity to learn and blossom my acquirement to accept new challenges that were placed in from of me. I always intended to associate myself in extra curricular activities such as track and
