| It has indeed been an honor and a pleasure to be a part of the highly esteemed Bison Battalion. During my matriculation through the Bison Battalion, it has been an awe-inspiring and humbling experience working with several classes of cadets who have been unique in their own way, allowing me the opportunity to learn a vast amount of Army knowledge from my peers. Throughout my four and a half years at Howard University I have learned many life long lessons that will prove crucial for success within my army career. I entered Howard University's ROTC program as a 17 year old freshman, thinking that I knew and had been through everything, it has taken me four years to realize that I did not know anything. I am aware that the experiences that I have endured by being a Howard University Cadet have made me a smarter, humble and an overall better person I encourage you all to view the ROTC program as the opportunity to find out who you are as an individual, what works for you and ensures the best for your Soldiers. ROTC has exposed my flaws as an individual and also as a leader by pushing and encouraging me to fix my imperfections through multiple outlets. It is with no doubt that I declare that the ROTC program has built my confidence and given me the competence needed to attend and successfully finish BOLC II and III. For the many of you that plan to make this a career we will be in frequent contact throughout our careers. Please know that I have enjoyed building relationships with you all. |
