Matthew Piram MSIII

My name is Matthew Piram, I am a Senior at North Dakota State University majoring in University Studies with an emphasis in Emergency Management. I joined the North Dakota National Guard after I graduated high school in
2006.  I have always wanted to be an American Soldier and wanted to someday lead troops.  After my sophomore year in college I contracted with ROTC and have accepted the challenge to become an Army Officer.  So far it has been great experience.  ROTC has taught me how to manage my time so I can complete my class assignments and become fully trained.  I think the two best times I have had in the program was when I joined the Ranger Challenge Team and when I competed for the German Armed Forces Badge of Military Proficiency.  These events have created a bond with fellow cadets that I know will last me throughout my military career.  However the biggest thing that I have learned is that no matter how much I have on my plate, I can still deal with anything that is thrown my way.
