CMAs McRae on to West Pointy MARTIN L. CAHN-I (Camden, S.C.) associate editor

Keith McRae came to Camden Military Academy

CMA) with a denite goal in mind: taking what

he school had to offer to prepare for a career in the

military. That success -- including holding the rank

f cadet rst lieutenant and being executive ofcer

f CMAs Charlie Company -- is carrying him on to

he U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

McRae, who recently turned 18, told his parents

more than three years ago that he wanted to pursue

military career.

I heard about CMA and told my parents and

sked them to send me here to help me prepare,

aid McRae, who grew up in Rock Hill. Ive found

hat the military structure and the environment are

ood.

McRae said hes been impressed with CMAs

mphasis on academics and how willing his

eachers have been to help, something important to

young man who had been home schooled before

oming to Camden.

The programs help teach leadership skills, teach

ow to take responsibility for our actions, McRae

aid.

Athletics -- including drill, baseball and junior

arsity and varsity basketball -- have been a plus.

Being home schooled, he never had a chance to

e part of a team, said his mother, Kimberly. The

mphasis on both academics and athletics has been

ood.

Kimberly McRae said the fact that her son was

ome schooled helped him be better prepared for

MAs focus on independent study.

Academics are very high on the list and hes

een making good marks, she said. We were very

isciplined at home, so it wasnt too much of a

ansition.

Her son said while he also had a chance to attend

he Citadel in Charleston, he chose West Point in

New York because of its focus on leadership.

I want to be an ofcer as my career, McRae

aid. Its the top academy -- the best choice.

His mother said her sons very strong faith

elped him reach the decision to go to West Point.

He waited for God to tell him what to do and felt

hat was where the Lord was leading him, she said.

I dont know exactly what my (military) career

oal is, possibly Army aviation, said McRae.

He also said he has post-military aspirations

. in politics. When asked what his goals were in

hat arena, he surprised his mother with his answer:

resident of the United States.

I didnt know that, his mother said.

CMA Dean of Students John Hein said he is not

urprised at McRaes success or his goals.

The words I use to describe him are depend-

ble, honest, trustworthy -- there arent enough

djectives, said Hein. Hes a great, young

Christian guy we all could learn from. Hes

not going to allow his circumstances to change

him. He has been a leader ever since he came

here. He will have a great impact upon his

arrival in New York.

Kimberly McRae had high praise for Hein

as well as all of her sons teachers.

Theyve helped keep him focused on whatto do for academic success, she said. All the

teachers have been there whenever hes needed

them. Theyve all been very encouraging.

Keith McRae has taken on additional work

at times when other students would be head-

ing off to summer vacations. Last summer, he

attended the National Youth Leadership Forum

in Washington, D.C. His mother said the forum,

attended by 1,400 students, had a strong

political focus on national defense.

I think that sparked his political thinking,

she said.

McRae was also named to the NationalSociety of High School Scholars and attended

the U.S. Naval Academy summer seminar in

Annapolis, Md. Back in South Carolina, he

attended a leadership academy at Fort Jackson

and was a part of this years Junior Leadership

class here in Kershaw County.

There wont be much down time for McRae

between graduation at CMA, set for May 23,

and June 27 when he has to report to West

Point.

Ill be spending time on physical tness,

he said. It should be painful, but fun.

Hein said while McRae wasnt a stellar

athlete coming in to CMA, he has seen

improvement.

He never gave up or complained. He was

always wanting to do his part, said Hein.

His mother thinks hes already well prepared.

CMAs focus on academics and structure have

excellently prepared him for the increased

academics at West Point. That and his home

schooling have given him an edge over kids

coming out of public school, who dont know

how to study independently, she said.

Hein said he has no doubt

reach his goals.

Hes just an overall great Hein said. He has an agenda,

Hes had a drive and direction siEverything he told you, I agree wi

see him on Capitol Hill.

fall in the same way again. It is my desire

to share with young minds the lessons I

have learned. In this academy I learned

four true values in life: integrity, incorrupt-

ibility; honor, a self-respect for who I am

and what I do; faith, the belief I have in

myself and my beliefs; and hope, hope that

tomorrow will be better than today.

Camden Military Academy is a place

where young men come from around the

world and learn how to unify into one,

one Corps of Cadets and one within them-

selves. I see young men coming from

completely different backgrounds around

the world, becoming brothers. We are all

brothers, from the rst Carlisle Military

School graduates to the coming Camden

Military graduates, we are all brothers.

I want to thank the board of trustees,

the faculty and staff, the administration

and the tactical ofcers for makingCamden Military Academy what it is today.

You have dramatically changed the lives of

thousands of young men and I promise I

will do the same. Thank you for coming

tonight. It is a great honor being the

Battalion Commander of Camden Military

Academy. As Battalion Commander, it has

been my honor to address you.

My name is Juan Zepeda, the youngest

f three children. I want to take this time to

hank my mother for I wouldnt be here today

f it wasnt for her. I also wouldnt have an

nderstanding of the world if it wasnt for her.

At the age of (11) I moved to Europe, then to

he United Arab Emirates for 3 years. Dur-

ng my life abroad, I have travelled to many

ountries, taking in the vast world we live in.

Living and traveling around the world,

earning about many customs how people

ve their everyday lives still amazes me. Itlso continues to amaze me how everyone

ursues their own happiness; nding their

ue meaning in life. At Camden Military

Academy, I see cadets nding their own

ue meaning in life. Every cadet here has

he potential to be something great, and this

ourney they go through at our academy

liminates their negatives and polishes their

ositives. I am honored to be the Battalion

Commander of our academy, and I am

onored to be speaking before you tonight.

When I rst came to this academy, I sawhe structure I always wanted in my life. The

iscipline I always loved. One of the greatest

hings I wanted to gain knowledge of was

atience. For in life, I believe patience and

ope are the two sole things that facilitate

ne to move forward accomplishing ones

reams.

One of the rst things I learned was that

his academy has a system. And there are

wo ways one can be a part of a system, one

an either go with it or one can ght it. It

was in my second year that I told myself

hat someone has to be on top. Every year

omeone has to be the Battalion Commander.

And thats when I asked myself, why cant

be me? When you really want something,

doesnt matter who you are or what your

ircumstances are, with work and support

ou can always achieve your dreams.

I took my past experiences as lessons.

ounty and surrounding areas, Mr. Price hasiven to local schools, churches, and charities

hroughout his lifetime.

When rst contacted about his donation, hexpressed great interest because of a specialhunting buddy that happened to be a new

udent at the academy. Cadet Marshallheorn and his family have been long time

iends. Marshall has been hunting under thewings of Mr. Price since he was 6 years old,

ccording to his mother, Lee Sheorn. So whenhis event was planned, Marshall had no idea that

Mr. Price was making the donation in his honor.After lunch, Colonel Boland gave Mr. Price and

2010 issue of The Post and Courier.

The newspaper he is looking at on the

ory of that day centers around a castle

and a river. He and his buddies were in

Salzburg, Austria using a castle for safety

until they could head back to American

lines. When the word came that peace

had arrived, they all ran to a nearby river,pulled the trigger pins on their grenades

and tossed them. All the fsh came up,

he said.

On April 24, Bill joined 150 veterans

from the Low Country on a trip to the

From the HeadmasterIn the academic realm we have many exciting happen-

ngs for the 2010-2011 school year. We will again partner with the

University of South Carolina to offer college/university courses

for college credit to select seniors and juniors. Currently we offer

English 101 and 102, Math 111 and 122, Sociology 101, Psychology

101, History 111 and 112, Economics 224 and Political Science

201. We are in the process of reviewing the textbooks andcurriculum guides for all of our academic courses and they will

be updated as needed. Starting with the 2010 summer school

session, we will be adding the TE 21 A+ Learning System to our

academic program. The A+ Learning System will benet our

students in a variety of ways. It will afford us the opportunity

to do more detailed assessments of students in the areas of

mathematics and English and will give us a better understanding

of where a students academic shortcomings are as well as to

allow us to better place students in courses. With the A+ System,

we will also be able to offer more differentiated instruction and

add alternative learning environments for our cadets. The A+

program will also benet us in our after-school learning labs as

well as providing SAT and ACT practice.

On the military/leadership front, we will be adding and

continuing some things that we hope will aid in the character

development of your young men. We will once again hold the

Spartan Challenge during the rst part of the 2010-2011 school

year. We will also bring in speakers on motivation and leader-

ship. Next year, I will be teaching a course in leadership and

motivation, based on the principles of Zig Ziglar and Dale Carnegie.

The course will focus on leadership and self-improvement. I am

excited to be able to return to the classroom. The course will

rst be available to our Battalion Staff, with plans to eventually

expand it to more of our cadet corps.

We have been working hard to make improvements toour campus. Our renovation to the White Field House is near-

ng completion. New walls, paint, lighting, stage curtain, carpet,

gym oor and bleachers are part of our renovation. We will start

on the locker rooms and weight rooms this summer.

I believe that we have achieved some great things this

year but I am really excited about what we have planned for next

year.

God Bless,

Why Democracy?Editorial from The Carlisle Bugle May 26, 1961)With the crises of the world facing us as they are and the

rospect of others cropping up, the light of Democracy and

reedom must be kept at all costs. Two essentials for democracy

re intelligent thinking and unselshness.

Firstly, for a democracy to function properly it must be guided

y reason and logic, not impassioned orators or actions out of

pite or prejudice. This pronounces the need of the young

American to be educated properly in order to become a function-

ing part of their government. Far too many high school

students drop out. Unfortunately many of these are gif

who could add much through education to their society.

Secondly, unselshness and the thought for others are n

a free democratic society. Democracy can only work wh

it to. When we become lazy and selsh a turn to social

the result. Today apparently far too many of us feel tha

attitude is not only unfashionable but can be unprotab

not so. Only when the youth of the world and young A

particular realize this, will the free world conquer Comm
