"Some of the most formative experiences I had during my time in High School were through NJROTC, where my instructors introduced me to concepts in leadership, selfless service, accountability, and the responsibility that comes with developing others. My educators at CCISD taught me that my future was worth investing in, helped me believe that I belonged in spaces I only dreamed about, and showed me what it looks like to develop others with high expectations and genuine belief in their potential. I have carried those lessons with me ever since."
