(no subject)
Last night I had a very nice conversation with my mom. I ended in us both crying and me with a heavy mind. I got me thinking about many things. The Air-Force subject came up and it made me think about how joining the Air-Force is something I really don't want to do anymore. It made me cry because when I brought it up a while back, on how it would be something I would actually consider doing everyone seemed to push me into it. It seemed like my family was almost trying to make me do something I had only thought about and wasn’t sure if I was even serious about it.
I think it got me so upset that the reason I didn’t want to join was because of them and how they put all that pressure on me. We started talking about how Mike was going into the Marines and what we were going to do while he was in, like if we were going to stay together or not. When I told my mom that we were going to stay together it made her cry. I think she is afraid that her little girl is growing up. We talked about my future and how she wanted me to be successful and pursue a good life for my self and she would support me with whatever my decision was. That was a relief to hear that. Our talk got me thinking about how I realized I didn’t want to join the Air-Force, but rather the Marines. I am a very determined person and will do whatever it takes for me to be happy and make the right decision. Being that the Marines are the hardest out of all the military forces makes me want to do it even more just to prove to my self that I can do it. If I do decide to go through with it all of my schooling would be taken care of and after I got out I could even go to a college of my choice if I still wanted to get a further education. I would also have the chance to maybe closer to Mike and that would be so much better than going to a college and being away from him for 4 years. I think that this would be something I would actually consider doing because of all the different opportunities it offers. I have not yet informed my mother on this idea but I think I will soon.
I recently got an invitation I guess is what it would be called to join The National Honor Society. To be eligible to join you must have many requirements and write 3 essays, the last essay is... “How do you hope to make an impact on the world or in your community?” I think I will write about maybe joining the Marines and becoming a teacher after that. That might be a good way to let my mom know the thoughts I have been having about the situation.
As for now I have an important exam to study for...
