Armed Forces Visit Rosemont High School

Representatives from three service branches, Air Force, Army, and Navy on Thursday presented knowledge to high school students who have intentions of becoming a part of the force. The presentation was held in the common area in B building, where fliers, brochures, and souvenirs were set up for people to take home. There were three sessions which ran for about 15 minutes each.

Parents and students, girls and boys, from every grade level attended, showing their interest by asking various questions to the speakers. As a response, the representatives were incredibly appealing and influential. They explained the requirements, expectations, and countless of benefits.

John Kroeger, the supervisor, said, “It gives a chance (to) Rosemont High School students to get information about the branches of the armed forces and what they have to offer.”

Poate Matairavula, a junior, said: “I feel pretty good because it’s a great opportunity to get a better education. They let me go to any college I want. They even pay for my tuition and housing. I really am very excited for this.”

One of the many seniors who attended, Anthony Peti, continued, “I feel confident knowing that I have a second chance if ever I don’t succeed in life.”    

With this event, students were given an opportunity to think of the future and discuss with their parents about their plans after high school.
