Good morning cadets and welcome to 2016.  I hope you had a great holiday and are ready to get back to school.  You task this week is to post what your New Years Resolution is for 2016.  Some people feel pressured to make them and some make them and break them just as fast.  So put up your resolution/goal for 2016 along with a video or website url that supports your resolution.  Remember to comment on at least one of your peers and you will be done.  Don't forget to finish your Bullying Poster for your term project as well and we are another week closer to being finished with your First Semester of JROTC.  My New Years Resolution is to curb my sweet tooth and to use my time more wisely.  Only time will tell but I feel motivated to make this happen so you can ask me how things are going once in a while in class.  

Blog #13 Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all...

Good morning cadets and I hope you are enjoying your time off from school. As we are celebrating during the holidays keep in mind that there are many other ethnic groups in our society that may not celebrate the holiday that you celebrate. So in keeping with the spirit of the season, please post to our site what holiday you celebrate at this time of year and what you have to be thankful for.  If you do not celebrate a holiday, then only post what you have to be thankful for.  Post a link for your holiday and a video would be great as well.  Comment on your peer's work and you are done, easy peasy and you won't have to spend a lot of time with this one.  I celebrate Christmas every year because that is the way I was raised in my family. I am thankful for my health and my family and blessed because all of my California family is visiting us for the holidays. One of my best presents ever. I am also very fortunate to have a great bunch of cadets/students that keep each and every day interesting at school. Thanks for letting me be a part of your future. Regards and have a Happy Holidays to each and every one of you.
