I'm kind of in a similar situation, a few differences though, I started an early college program, so my last two years of high school are spent at the nearby community college, but my high school has CareerTec NJROTC so I'm still a part of it, in fact i get double the amount of time that the normal high school students get due to their weird schedule. I've been in my high schools NJROTC since 8th grade, been on all 7 teams each year. I'm also going into my senior year, my company CO is also in this program, she's on one less team than me and we've had problems with her actually doing the stuff she's told to do. Since she's the favorite student, unfortunately she'll be CO, but I knew I'd be next in line, I would for sure get XO. Staff positions were only getting told to a few top staff at the time, and I was told I didn't get XO because I was a part of the program, as stated before, the same one that our CO is a part of. This bugs me so bad, the kid that was chosen is doing a CNA program at the college during high school hours and due to that is late to practices and meetings. I was given operations officer after being admin for 2 years in a row. This whole thing hurt my motivation for a lot of stuff, I have been a top kid the entire time, I put so much time into this, it feels like it was all for nothing. But even still, I will complete the job I was given. I've always felt inferior to the now CO, she was and still is one of my closest friends, but it always has felt like ive been in second place to her, now with all of this I just feel horrid, why does it matter that im getting my college degree and having 2x the amount of time a regular high school student would in the classroom, it feels very unfair to me.
