An American Soldier

I went to talk to the recruiter again today, to talk about jobs and college credits to figure everything out basically. He looked at me and said are you ready for this and the paper work got started. I go to MEPS (Military Entrance Physical) on Tuesday, I leave for Pittsburgh on Monday but it's not until Tuesday. I find out then if I pass and can go on to basic's. If I pass and swear in I will go to basic's in July and I will be shipped out to Fort Jackson SC. After that I will be shipped off to Fort Bragg NC. I will have to miss a semester of school because I will just have to, it's the way my job would work. Don't worry, when I get back I'll resume school and take up the ROTC so they can't deploy me, not only that but I will graduate as an officer as well. I know that my friends are backing me up. I'm a little nervous, I don't know what to expect or what I'm going to have to do, but I will take one day at a time, I'll worry about tomorrow when it get's here. Everyone just keep me in mind and pray to whatever God you believe in, because I'm going to need all the help I can get. Sean told me to run and practice my push-up. Which I am going to do. I want this I want my name on that uniform and I want people to say that I did something with my life. My mom took it much better then I thought she would. She didn't yell, scream or cry. She just said do what you have to do. I think she's finally realized that I'm a big girl and I'm grown up.
