To Serve Those That Serve Our Country
Kathryn Clark is a junior at Auburn University majoring in nursing. However, her career path is unlike most of the other nursing students on campus. Clark currently serves in Auburn’s Air Force ROTC. She plans to use her degree to become a flight nurse in the Air Force.
Clark is part of a family tradition of serving our country. Both of her parents served the United States in the Air Force and Clark has decided to follow suit. While Clark commits multiple days a week to physical training and classes for ROTC she has also dedicated herself to other activities on campus. In 2006 Clark helped start a pro-life club on Auburn’s campus. Her dedication and passion for important issues is contagious and has enabled her club to grow.
Clark attributes much of what she has learned thus far in college to ROTC. Through learning time-management and organizational skills Clark has been able to get involved, take on leadership roles and maintain an outstanding academic record.
Clark has devoted four years of service to the Air Force after she earns her degree. During these four years she will most likely be deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan. But Clark is not afraid. She says she strongly believes in giving back to the United States. “The reason why I do all of this is because I want to serve those that serve our country,� Clark says.
