Tyra's Story

My passion is being a leader.

I discovered this passion in 9th grade. I am so passionate about being a leader because it has helped me to network, advocate for myself, and seek change in my environment. I use my leadership skills everywhere, from school to my programs to home.

Attending the Honor Code! U.S Military Academy Camp will help me explore my passion for leadership. Here, I will be able to help and lead others, I may also be able to discover more leadership skills that I never knew I had. This program will help me have fun with my passion.

A Note from Ms. Correa, Tyra's Teacher

"It would be good for Tyra to step out of her comfort zone. She should be exposed to a context that she is unfamiliar with and that will challenge her to see the world from a new perspective. I believe that The Honor Code program is a perfect way to give Tyra this opportunity."

Bet experience of my life!

Honor Code was the best experience of my life. It was so empowering, I learned a lot about the military and its benefits as well as the cons. I learned a lot about West Point and its history. I got to meet a lot of different people from all over the US that had a passion for the military. Although I did not have a deep interest in the military I learned that it might be an option for me. I really am grateful for the opportunity.
