Why do I want to be a CWTS Officer?

What is CWTS? It means Civic Welfare Training Service. From the word service, I can already imagine that this is on how to help others and to become a good leader to my followers. Many values and principles are involved in becoming and in being an officer. These values include determination, respect, discipline, responsibility, and most off all leadership.
What is my purpose in joining the said organization? I have many reasons why I want to be a CWTS officer. I know that many activities will be involving that need a lot of strength. I also know that training me physically and emotionally will be there. Even if there are these things, I am willing to face all of these just to be an officer.
My first reason is to be more responsible. Based on the quote from the movie Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility”. As I have observed from the officers now, they are doing many things in school. If there are school activities, they are always the ones in charge of preparing the things like the sound system and cleanliness. They are responsible for the welfare of the students. I always see them wearing black shirts. Every Friday I also see them training their cadets. Learning how to march, holding the rifle, and raising the colors are some of the things a CWTS officer does. With the things that a CWTS officer does, a very big responsibility is clinging in it.
At the start of the school year, any of my batch mates got excited because they also want to be an officer. Many of them wants to be an officer, but when they start to have a grade lower than 80, they got discouraged because they know that they cannot qualify anymore. During that time, I have changed my mind no to apply because for the reason that most members of our clique cannot join. My parents do not want me to join too. Nevertheless, I have realized that I should apply because I definitely want to.
One of the values that I will also learn is to be a disciplined person. Obeying the rules is one factor to be a disciplined person. Through this, I can become a closely controlled person. I will stand by what I believed and what I think is right.
One reason why I want to be a CWTS officer is to gain respect. During my freshmen days, I often ask myself, “Why do the people wearing white shirts make a side step to those who are wearing black?” I eventually know now why. It is a sign of respect to their leaders. If they will not do that, they will have a demerit. I always imagined myself called as a “sir”. I strongly believe in the saying that I should respect myself first so that others will respect me. I is not easy to make someone respect you.
I want to be an officer because I aspire to be a good leader and a good follower. I want to help other people and get involved in community gatherings like outreach programs and others. I want to prove to myself that I can be a good CWTS officer.
