I want to be a Nuclear Power School Instructor and have a few questions.
A little background on myself:
-3.42 GPA (last two years) from bloomsburg university of pennsylvania
-b.s. in mathematics
-president of my chapter of the mathematics honor society 09-10 school year
-Ran track and xc in college, I'm in excellent shape
-other awards include dean's list 2 times, scholar athlete, all academic athlete
-I transfered from a private school wear my gpa wasn't that great, only like a 2.8 for my first year and a half 
-in the army reserves
-the only other thing that i might have going against me is I got a C in physics 2 and a B- in physics 1, partly due to my instrutors and huge workload i had on top of those classes, However I have mostly A's in my other technical courses, barring 2/3 B+'s
-I was a math tutor during college
Do I have a shot at getting in the instructor program based on the given information? Also is goose creek a good place to live? I also wanted someone to look over my motivational statement, would that be more appropriate in a military forum? Thanks so much.
I can't speak intelligently about your chances for NNPS instructor (no one can unless they are on the selection board, and those people won't post here on the matter). However, here's some advice for whatever profession you choose: lose the "my professor was a *$*@&!# attitude."
When you tell employers that you earned a bad grade because your professor was [insert insult] and because you had a "huge workload," you're really telling them two things:
1) The first part says that you can't accept responsibility for your own actions and work. So if your boss comes to you and says that you need to step up your performance, are you going to blame it on your coworkers? If you are late on an assignment/project/whatever, are you going to blame it on everything else but you?
1a) The first part also says that you might have teamwork issues in the future. You're not going to like everyone you work with, but you still have to build professional relationships to accomplish the task at hand. If you are involved in a team project, are you going to go around calling your coworker names when things don't go your way?
2) The second part says that you have poor time management skills. Guess what? All that stuff you hear on the news about wealthy people not working for their money is patently false, unless you're Paris Hilton. But that's like .01% of wealthy people. Most of them work their butts off to be successful in their fields, and many of them also have a family at home which is a full-time job in itself.
Your post also says that you ran cross country in college. So you had enough time for track, but not enough time to study?
So yea, you might want to think up of a better response to how you earned your C and B- in physics.
