Effective communicator

Discussions during class are really fun. In Ms.Ducat's English class last year, i really enjoyed being part of them. I am a very opinionated person and during class discussions i tend to share a lot of my oppinions about a subject. I have been a an effective communicator not only when talking about my opinions, but also during class presentations aswell. Through out my high school courses i have had to do many presentations to both the class and teachers. I have done the most presentations during my leadership course. Every year, i have done presentations on subjects like, Dining Etiquette for our formal Cadet Ball and First Aid. I have also been an effective communicator as an instructor for after school practices in JROTC. I have communicated with the cadets, teaching them JROTC knowledge and drill. Also, during the summer, the upper level cadets plan and execute a program called Train the Trainer. In this program, we teach the second year and above cadets things like propperly filling out forms and documents, conducting drill and conducting physical training. I was the instructor for forms and documents. I had to present to the cadets and teach them how to propperly fill out JROTC forms. Through out my career in JROTC, i have been interviewed by KUSI and the Union Tribune for different reasons. In ninth grade, i was interviewed in an article called "Aiming High" in this interview, i talked about the JROTC marksmanship team and our accomplishments in winning the California Junior Olympics and being awarded the Gold Medal. I was also interviewed by kusi for the same reason. Along with one of my teemates, I spoke in front of the school board several times to defend the marksmanship team when the topic of terminating the program arised. On December 18, 2009 I was interviewed by Kusi about the Annual Joint Brigade Food Drive we hold every year. I talked about our meaningful service learning project and our accomplishments during the food drive.
