Heros

I hav had many heros in my life. My grandparents on both sides and my parents I have alwasy enjoyed the storys that my uncle son tells of world war two I will enjoy the way my cousin mellisa makes me laugh. however this past year I have enjoyed the company of a few good men who are now my heros. They are members of the use military. The first I am going to mention is man by the name of john snow


John is in the the military that goes by the name THE FEW THE PROUD THE MARINES he talks about this like he is flying in the stars he wants to serve his country and he is ready to help fight now he is states side but may be deployed at any minute and he is ready to pack and go. He is currently a college student at a college in town. but He is reay to quite and go that to me would be hard to do this man is one of my heros because he is willing to drop it all and go.

The next man is a mp at a local base in town his name is zack astrup and he is one proud boy. he is in the Air Force and wanted to be in that institution since I have know him he loves what he does and is ready to do it whenever this to me is what every person should be willing to do. He is the person that stands at a gate and if someone does ot stop he shoots I once asked him if he had any promblems with this and he said that if it was a threat to what he called the saftey of this nation then he would do what he had to.


These two men have now been in the military for about a year and a half and they have maid me think. Do i need to look at the military has an option. I really like the things that they do and I really do look good in uniform but then I will be in a differents type of uniform when I am woking and it would be hard to have to leave at the sound of a phone call. But I really want to serve my country now the question when. Do I go in now and work to the top the hard way or do I go to school and think about it some more. My parents said that they do not want me to go into the military but I think that those of us who want to should go before the ones who don't. But then agian mabey my parents are right mabey I should go to school and think some more about it. If you have any thoughts please post and let me know

School

This post is not an idea I had but more of a feeling. In ten days I will move out of my houds and into a dorm room six hours away. Now I know some of you people are going I live in Washington and am going to school in New york so get over it. Well Thats great and I am happy for you but I have always been kind of a home person I like to spend time with my family I enjoy just watching TV with my parents or playing video Games with my brother. I have always enjoyed taking all three of my sisters to Target. I Don't know why but I like those things. And now I will be moving way not far but still I will not wake up every mornig with a two year old looking at me saying Dora. Those oldly enough make me feel at home. Now I get to pack up my stuff put it in my car and drive to School.
Now I know that I will have fun and make new friends And I do want some more space but this is all happeneing with a large amount Of speed. I remember being like ten years old and sitting in my grandmas kitchen crying because I did not want to grow up. Now I want to grow up but I still want to be a kid. I want the saftey and security of knowing if something goes wrong I can go to mom and dad and they can fix it. I want it to be like I was ten still sometimes.

Now don;t get me wrong I do plan on havin a blast at school and I do want to grow up and have my own family and have my own life but I think you know what I am getting at this is like any new thing your just not sure about it untill you do it.

Some one out there

So the reson I have not posted in a while Is because I have been on the road driving thought the pacific NorthWest. It is beautiful country out there and I have family up there so we spent some time in seattle and in a small twon Called Lynden. It is very nice up there. any way I got home on the 8th of this month which is 2 days earllyer than we were suppused to. Anyway I was reading the news on the day after we were soppused to drive though A section of Utah that is called Spanish forks cayon . It said that A truck caring 13,ooo pounds of explosives filled over and blew-up. I was shocked only because I had just been in that cayon. I went and did the math if we had come home at the originnal day. We would have been right behind that truck by less than three minutes. All I could think of is that Some one up there was watching out for me and my family and They want us to do something else with our lives.
