In order to get far in life, I have to do good in school. I need to work hard and do what’s asked of me to do whether it’s in a class I don’t like or a class I do like. I should always do my best in school. In order to do my best, I need to do my homework. In order to get my homework done, I need to bring it home when it is assigned.
I need to ask for help if I don’t understand my homework. I sometimes can use the computer to help me. I can use other tools such as a dictionary or thesaurus. I don’t have an assignment notebook. Perhaps I could use one of those to help me keep track of my assignment. I could also study for tests and do extra things to help study like past lessons or study the study guide.
The U.S.M.C. (United States Marine Corps) is a military based op. The salary of a private is $1491.00 monthly. When in the United States Marie Corps I could be gone for two months or two years it depends on the mission. I want to be in the United States Marine Corps to help serve our country and help ours who are in need in other parts of the world. I am Not going into the Marines to kill people or to drive “cool” vehicles. I want to make sure I do what’s best for my country and for the world. I am proud to be an American, and that’s how I am going to show I am.
My goals in the military are to get to W-5 (Chief Warrant Officer 5). The salary of this rank is $6930.00 depending on years of service. To be a Chief Warrant Officer 5, I will need 30 years of service at least. The more years in the military the more pay I will make, with 40 years of service I will make $9068.00 a month or $108,816.00 yearly. I hope my life goes as planned, and I am the only one to make sure that happens.
