Welcome to my Blog!

Hey everyone, my name is Kennedy Lopez. I’m an 18 year old, who’s about to be a Junior in college. Crazy right? Anyway, I’m a first generation college student, and I’m just here trying to navigate my way to a bachelor’s degree. I feel like this is enough about me so far, but you’ll definitely find out more as the blog continues.

Now what you’re all here for, what this blog is actually about.

This blog is about being in the ROTC program in college, more specifically the one at Texas State University. Most people only have their own idea of what happens within the program. I can say some of it might be true, but a lot of it is not. A lot of the things I’ve done have made me feel out of place, but it also helps create a deeper bond with those around you. It’s somewhere you can have fun, make great friends, adopt many great qualities, and have people push you to strive for your best and nothing less.

However, I’m not going to say everyone should go join. Truthfully, this program IS NOT for everyone. It’s hard work, fast paced, and it may even feel silly at sometimes. I’m just here to show you a perspective from someone who never thought they’d actually join ROTC. This is for people who are curious about joining the program, in the program, or people who just want to see what actually goes on within ROTC.

What you can all expect from me within this blog? Well that’s quite simple. I will tell you about all of the hard days, where I don’t think I can go any further. I’ll even tell you about the times it all felt silly, or if I completely embarrassed myself in front of everyone. Finally, I will keep you informed on how this will all pay off in the end, and how each thing we do contributes to what we need to know. This is you living through me.
