Charles Baudelaire once famously quoted, ‘there exist only three beings worthy of respect: The priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.” The quote encompasses the value, importance, and respect that are associated to a soldier. A soldier fights, lives and dies for his/her country and hence exercises the most selfless and supreme sacrifice.
Being an Army officer means being fearless, being selfless and most importantly being dedicated, zealous, nationalistic and patriotic. An army officers needs to have exceptional and incredible leadership skills since it is not just about shooting but about building a team, about knowing how best to deploy it, how to maintain it, how to lift up the spirits of its members, how to lead it under difficult and adverse situations and about how to maintain cool and calm even under the most fearsome situations.
Ever since my childhood, the dream of donning an Army officer’s dress has inspired and excited me. The zeal and vigor to serve my nation and my fellow citizens has always been my prime dream and goal and I wish realize it by being an Army officer. I have always loved to lead from the front. Right from my school days, I have possessed extraordinary and exceptional leadership skills. I have always loved to challenges head on and to be held accountable while leading others. I wish to be an Army officer because I am proud to have the necessary leadership skills and zealousness to die or kill for my country. I want to be an army officer because I love my motherland selflessly. I wish to be an Army officer so that I proud, content and happy. The desire to serve my motherland drives me towards my dream and I am sure I will fulfill it soon.
