Green for Life

The JROTC Uniform has become a part of me. When I was a freshman I felt that the uniform was a punishment rather then a unique privilege. Before, the uniform was awkward and uninteresting, but now I am proud to wear the uniform. I did not like the uniform before because in middle school I was never assigned to wear one. Then heading into high school I had to adapt.

Now, without the uniform, I feel weird for four days out of our five days in school we wear our uniform. On Fridays we wear the P.T. uniform which is civilian clothes. Next year is going to be different without the uniform and I do not know whether to be happy or sad. Organization is something I liked about the uniform, and also the respect that came with it. Hopefully it will still show without the uniform and carry on throughout my life.
