Role Strain/ Role Conflict

In high school I experienced many strain, and conflict roles. Starting with being in both FFA (Future Farmers of America) and AFJROTC (Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Crops) in both I was very actively involved. With FFA, raising animals for FFA, AFJROTC, school work/homework, floral intern, and work I had no time for friends. They would always complain about me not having time for them. My senior year week starts with Monday feed animals then get to school do reville (put up the school flags) going in and off uniform, the 1-3 period and lunch I would work on events planning or other JROTC problems, ect, and I would also attend district meeting in uniform present colors (sometimes). After school tuesdays -thursday that I would attend 4-6 after school I would have FFA practice for whatever competition I was on. After that I had JROTC practice, I worked from 1700 hours to 2100 hours. After that I would feed animals and work with them, I would do homework at 2300 hours after i showered. Friday I wouldn’t work but i was an floral intern after i had done retreat (bring down the school flags) and fridays where game days so we had to present the colors for the game and after we had the choice to stay watch or leave. I would leave to work on animals and homework. I had no time for friends and they would come at me all the time. No lie I felt proud from all my hard work. In FFA I got my State degree (second highest nationally) with that I had the most hours in agriculture almost at American level ( if you know about this, this is really big), Almost got my National Proficiency, raised a steer, floral competition, job interview, helped plan events (sometimes when allowed). In JROTC I was a Captain promoted to Major, and throughout I planned and helped plan everything. I was deeply involved in every event and observed from behind as I watched cadets take leadership action. While going to drill, color guard, and other practices. Senior year of high school was tough but I managed it and kind of wished I did prom, friends hangouts . I was far too busy for all of that. College became better now I have time to spend with loved ones now and sometimes friends because I still have work.
