8 years..........
Well yesterday marked my 8th year of being out of High School. 8 years since I walked across that graduation stage at Hertford County High School. 8 years since I commanded my battalion. 8 years since I wore my JROTC uniform. 8 years since I attended my last Military Ball as a cadet. Its been eight years and so much has changed. So many friends and family have come and go. Yet here I am. Still here. Still alive. Still the same old Abby. Some dreams have been fulfilled but some have been given up. Sitting behind my desk in JROTC HQ I would have never predicted how my life would end up. I had other dreams. I had other ideas. But life had other plans for me it looks like. I can't say if I like them or hate them but one thing is for sure I'm looking forward to seeing what happens from here on out.
