Why join TSA?

As a senior at Virginia Tech, I am grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of TSA. I have been able to share my experiences through TSA with other students who have not heard of the organization. TSA has prepared me to have a competitive edge. Being a part of TSA has enhanced my public speaking, writing, and problem solving skills. These are valuable skills used to succeed in college. 

Just being in TSA really bolstered my applications, especially as an officer considering I'm at a school that focuses on engineering and leadership. I'm also doing a lot of hands on work with engines now, so getting familiar with working hands on with things was a huge help. I'm taking an electrical engineering course next trimester too, so I'm sure some things I learned will come in handy. And getting used to doing all this stuff in a uniform was pretty useful for me specifically.

I believe that TSA was the most influential club at Elizabeth Forward for my college decision. I am currently a Weapons, Robotics, and Control major at the United States Naval Academy. TSA exposed me to robotics as well certain aspects of control engineering. I remember designing my plane for the flight event, where I learned a lot about the inner mechanics between engineering systems. Here at USNA my schedule is very hectic and I believe that balancing TSA, along with schoolwork, and sports prepared me for it. I would recommend TSA to every student who enjoys challenges, wants a better connection to technology, and is actively striving to be prepared for the rigors of college. 

Now that I have entered college at the University of Pittsburgh, I now understand how TSA has prepared me for college and my future and I strongly recommend joining. TSA teaches students problem solving skills, and provided me with a competitiveness that is essential in an educational and career atmosphere. I am grateful for my time in TSA and how it inspired my interests in technology and encouraged me to pursue a degree in Computer Science. TSA builds leadership skills and teaches students about the power of using technology to create, challenge, lead, and inspire.

TSA is the club of opportunities. It gave me the chance to learn at least basic knowledge of almost any subject from debates to drag races. These hands on experiences taught me how to learn quick on my feet and gave me the ability to master anything at the blink of an eye which would come in handy anywhere in the real world especially the Fleet. I'm glad to have had the experience under my belt and be glad to recommend it to any one of my colleagues.
