This week’s Basic Cadet spotlight comes from C/Patterson! Here’s what she has to say:

“Hello, my name is Tatiana Patterson, and I am a Psychology Scholar at North Carolina Central University. I joined the Air Force ROTC program to prove to myself that I am capable of achieving great things and building a better future for myself. I want to create a stable life, make my parents and older brother proud, and be an inspiration to my little sister, nieces, and nephews. I want to show them that with hard work, dedication, and determination, anything is possible. My goal is to become the best version of myself while making my family proud and setting a positive example for the generations after me. In my free time, I enjoy going out with my friends, spending quality time with my family, dancing, shopping, and creating unforgettable memories with the people I love.“
