my name is jasmine valentine and i'm a second year cadet here at the university of north georgia i'm a platoon sergeant and bravo company in charge of 22 people when i first joined the corps i was very shy timid didn't really know much about the military and as a second year cadet it's almost like i did a 180. i'm much more confident in my ability to lead in comparison to how i was when i first joined the corps because in the past two years the corps has thrown me into uncomfortable positions that have then become comfortable as i am carrying out the role i'm a cyber security major with a dual minor in military leadership and intelligence the university of north georgia has one of the top cyber security programs in the state of georgia and i plan on commissioning into the united states army as a cyber officer once i graduate i'm currently a student assistant in cadet admissions where i give cadet tours and i used to work as an orientation leader where i would assist new students and their transition into the core cadence outside of the core in school i love to run and i'm currently training for a marathon north georgia and the corps are so special to me because of the opportunity it provides just the other day i met general fogerty the commander of cyber in the u.s army and an alumnus of the university and i wouldn't have had that opportunity if it wasn't for north georgia the corps of cadets has given me the tools to be a successful leader both in and out of the army and that's what it is all about
