 The students that come to our G.R.T. C.K.D. called Leadership Better Citizens Training in High School, many of them do not have direction as far as careers are concerned. And when they come and hear what our mission is, is to motivate young people to be better citizens, they wonder how they fit into that. Our basic job is to motivate young people to be better citizens, to show them the way to a future that is gratifying to them. I transferred from a different school because I was in trouble a lot. Once I joined G.R.T.C., Sergeant Jackson taught me how to be a leader. He taught me how to be the non-commissioned officer in the United States Army that I am today. Sergeant Jackson, the one thing that stuck with me since freshman year was the fact that we are all unique. It's really stuck with me because bullying was always a big problem for me. But to hear someone tell me that I have something that no one else has was the biggest lesson I could ever take away from Sergeant Jackson. If you need to stay after school just to mentor and talk about life, he'll stop and do it. And right now he's not a friend, he's a teacher. After I graduate, he will be my friend. And I will constantly use him through life. The paramount thing is not just the education, not just the leadership, but being a better citizen. And that is the joy of coming to this program. We make them better than they were when they got here. Join us for American Graduate Day on October 14th.
