    I helped freshman cadets compete in their first drill competition
    This was one of my hardest tasks as a leader. I was given a handful of undisciplined, disrespectful at times, and unmotivated people, and I had to train them and prepare them to be able to march. It was so hard because nobody knew how to march, I had a lot of people quitting, and rejoining the team, not coming to practice, showing up late. It was stressful because the time was ticking and they weren't ready. I kept working with them and they were able to succeed.
