He looked so dapper in his JROTC uniform as he strutted towards my desk to drop some ingredients he and his group would use to prepare a recipe. There was not a single wrinkle or a misplaced crease on his shirt that holds all the pins and medals he had earned. His pants dropped perfectly from his waistline that was held by a belt locked with a buckle that shone like a 24-carat gold. His hair? - every strand was in place. He looked so commanding even with his smiling face. I asked if I could take his picture to post in my blog and, almost shyly he said:
"Oh, yes, Ms.!"
Curiousity hit me so I inquired how he got into the program.
"I had a friend who needed to recruit someone so he could earn his badge and I wanted to help him."
I couldn't help but smile at his remark . "Do you like it?"
"Well, Ms., at first I didn't but as I got deeper into the activities I learned to like being there very much."
"And afterwards?" I asked again.
"I plan to go into the Army and be an officer."
I patted his shoulder and assured him:
"That's nice, SERGIO! Good luck! See you in 5th period!"
"Thanks, Ms."
Ahhh, another youth and his dream!!!
