Today we head to The Natural State for our #Cadetoftheweek 🎉

Meet Emma Rhodes, a sophomore majoring in Nursing at the University of Central Arkansas. 

Rhodes has served in the Arkansas Army National Guard for over two years and joined #ArmyROTC to fulfill a desire to lead. 

“ROTC has allowed me to become more confident in my abilities and pushed me out of my comfort zone. It has taught me to make difficult and calculated decisions while under stress. I have made best friends and created countless friendships.”

“I joined Army ROTC to challenge myself physically and mentally, and wanted to be part of something greater than myself.”

Outside of the #NationalGuard and the Bayonet Battalion, Rhodes is part of Student Orientation Staff. She also studies classical music 🎶

Rhodes comes from a military family, and draws her leadership inspiration from her parents.

“I enlisted shortly after turning seventeen and my parents have been my biggest supporters since day one. My dad, who is also in the military, helps me navigate the challenges and rewards of this path, pushing me to exceed my limits and accomplish my goals.”

After graduation, Rhodes plans on commissioning into the Medical Service Corps as an #ArmyNurse and attend PA school. 

Fun facts about Rhodes: She enjoys hiking and loves exploring national parks.
