About

Goals After School About

My full name is Caleb Elihu

Warren. I attended Promon-

tory for 2 years in 7th and 8th

grade, from the first year the

school was in operation. I am

currently a senior at Venture

High School, and I am set to

graduate in June. I will then

be shipping out for boot camp

at Marine Corps Recruit De-

pot, San Diego in August.

The goals I have for the future

are to finish strong this school

year, to get honors in passage,

to continue improving my fit-

ness so I can more easily face

the challenges in boot camp, to

earn the title of Marine, and go

into the reserves. Then I’ll go

to college, obtain a bachelors

degree at Weber State, and get

a commission as a 2nd Lieuten-

ant in the Marine Corps. After

I'm done with the corps, I

would like to move right into a

career that would help me

make a difference and achieve

success (I am strongly consider-

ing moving into law-practice).

I fill my after school hours with

play rehearsals, work at Mad-

dox in Perry, work around the

home, physical training with

other Marine Corps enlistees,

routine exercise at home, and

hiking in the mountains above

my house.

Extracurricular

The two most important extracur-

ricular activities I have been in-

volved in during High School are

Drama and Debate. I have been

involved in 4 shows put on by the

Venture Theatre Company, as a

spotlight operator in Legends of

Sleepy Hollow, a supporting actor

and understudy for Harold Hill in

the Music Man, the lead role in 15

Minute Hamlet, and I am currently

preparing to play Tevye in Fiddler

on the Roof this April. I have been

involved in debate for four years,

starting in 9th grade, and have

competed in Lincoln-Douglas,

Spar, Congress, and Original Ora-

tory. Both Drama and Debate

have been enormous fun and have

helped me grow immensely as a

person, and I would recommend

both to anyone interested in

sharpening their wits and develop-

ing social-skills.

Accomplishments Promontory

The accomplishments I am most

proud of have been heavily school

-based in most instances. I am

proud of my achievements in the

drama program, being able to act

as lead characters in two plays. I

am especially proud of my debate

record. In my 10th Grade year, I

received 3rd place at a National

Qualifiers tournament, making me

the runner up for Nationals. This

year at our Region tournament, I

took 1st place in Congress and 2nd

place in Original Oratory, and at

the State tournament this year, I

took 1st place in Original Oratory

and 2nd place in Congress, and my

debate team became the State

Champions for 2A schools. I am

also proud of my academic perfor-

mance, doing well in my classes,

and performing well on tests, with

a 31 on the ACT, a 1700+ lexile

score, and a 96 on the ASVAB. I'd

say the final accomplishment I am

very proud of is passing the

screening process and taking the

Oath of Enlistment for service in

the Marine Corps.

I'd say one of my favorite memo-

ries from Promontory was going

to Goblin Valley with Mr. Wallis,

especially during the rainstorm

we were able to experience on

the night of our arrival.

Fieldwork and Expeditions

I'd say the most memorable

fieldwork I participated in was

an intensive with Mr. Rob,

where we went to the Desert

Experimental Range near Mil-

ford, and gathered data about

and enjoyed the natural de-

sert setting. It was quite an

experience. In addition, I was

able to terrify some of my

classmates in the basement of

one of the old buildings.

Expeditionary learning at

Promontory really helped me

continue to develop my love

of learning by giving me a

more organic environment to

do it in, and it also helped pre-

pare me for coming to Ven-

ture, which has been by far my

most important school experi-

ence in terms of helping me

find myself and push outside

of my comfort zones.

Promontory Tools for Success

I would say find your interests, a

subject or task that you don't find

dull, that you can really get into

without significant effort. Special-

ize, and develop your passions,

find something that you can be

good at, and work at it. Use it to

develop your strength and work

ethic, and apply that ethic to oth-

er areas of your life that you may

not enjoy as much. Always be

ready to make friends. Always be

kind; you never know what kind

of a day someone is having, and

you can make the difference be-

tween a good and a bad day. Find

someone that you don't normally

talk with. Introduce yourself, ask

them their name. Say hello to

them every day. Always push to

be better tomorrow than you

were yesterday, and never, ever

give up.
