Dear Judges:
My name is Taylor Mickle. My senior project is sending packages overseas to a US
Naval Officer in Afghanistan. My senior project had many goals. My big goal was to
send as many packages I could and to raise as much money and supplies. I also set a goal
to help to troops and raise their spirits and remind them of home and give them hope to
make it through the deployment.
The products I came up with are boxes that I filled with things that the troops need and
would help them and make their deployment easier. I wrote my research paper on the
process of enlisting so I could get a feel of what the troops went through to get to where
they are. An obstacle that I came across was trying to get the supplies and funds from my
family and friends that were giving the donations. I also had a set up at my church and it
was also difficult to get my church family to remember the donations they were giving.
But, in the end my family and friends pulled out for me and I raised all the funds and
supplies needed.
My senior project relates to me because I am enlisting in the United States Navy. I have
learned that I like the military and I will still be enlisting. Also, the guy I sent the boxes
to was a Hospital Corpsman which is also what I want to pursue in the Navy. This project
has taught me a lot about the military. I learned how to go about things more efficiently
and how to get a better output.
I believe this project taught me the things I needed before enlisting and allowing me to
see how life is before I enlisted. I see this project as a very successful and fulfilling
experience. Thank You for being here and volunteering your time.
Sincerely,
Taylor Mickle
