GROWING UP IS NOT EASY

In my childhood there was a few challenges thrown at me. When I was in highschool, I almost enlisted in the military, the U.S Army. The one person that helped me out during that time was my girlfriend at that time. She made it very clear that if I join the military she would break up with me & never talk to me again. With her saying that, it changed my mind completely. If I would have gone I would probably be in either Iraq or in Afgahnistan fighting in the war right now. I really beleave that she probably saved my life because as we all know that war is very unpridictable. Now I`m in college getting my degree in Criminal Justice. In my eyes she saved me & helped me get in to this position, we are no longer together but I still thank her for helping me to get to this position. We still talk every now & then but now she is in the position I was in during my high school years. Hopefully I can give her the same advice that she gave me & maybe convince her not to leave just like she did me back in the day!
