@bishoplampz for some reason the reply isn't working on the site..
I have added some details I wanted included in my paper... feel free to reword it as well
- also I didn't like the wording of the previous paper, sounded to much like a research paper.
- also don't need details regarding my mom & dad in the previous paper, the also goes for the deployment details (I will add that myself
- i.e. I would like to get revised/rewritten work as soon as possible for turn in. once new work is received I will release payment
Enlisting into the military straight out of high school was a huge goal/accomplishment of mine
however leaving for deployment immediately after training was one of the hardest and most
terrifying moments of my life.
Being separated from family and positioned in a hostile environment had an enormous impact on
me. I was constantly on edge due to hostility of the country I was in. I was found myself learning
about the world very quickly witnessing many things first hand. The hardest obstacle I faced
throughout this experience was psychologically. The first couple months were very hard for me
but I soon realized that I wasnt going through it alone. There were many other soldiers going
through the same thing, so we had each other that we could depend on and support.
This experience affected me by helping me realize that I need to live for to moment, work hard,
and love and appreciate the people in your life,
Being away from home was hard but it made me responsible and independent. I learnt how to
take care of myself and to cater for my own needs as well as others, to manage responsibilities
and to be answerable for my actions
These experiences and lessons have enabled me to contribute to a higher level as a result in many
ways. Ive been promoted to a sergeant, gained many awards, done very well in school with a 3.2
gpa, got a good job,
Another result is that I can now face other challenges and difficult times with a new perspective
