I’ve had an insane second week of school, I’m starting to get comfortable with my very easy schedule, even my freshman gym class. Not too much happened this past week, I managed to join the Young Democrats, and the Young Republicans. Couldn’t decide, both candidates are worthy, and have great qualifications.

I love being a pullee in the Marines, and can’t wait for bootcamp. I already know 4 people I will be shipping out with on June 29th. One of who, I recruited into DEP myself. All I need to do is recruit one more for PFC.

Both physical trainings this week were good. Tuesday we did a lot of running, a few miles at the park. Thursday we went to Peak fitness, and got to do pyramids, and just work out.

I’m really excited about going to boot camp. I also registered for the SAT’s. I will be sending my scores to NC STATE, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Penn State, and Michigan State. Most of my senior friends are going off too NCState, so I think i will end up going to NC State in the end. If not I’m hoping to get into Penn.

I’ve came to understand my plans, I will start college in the winter so i can complete boot camps, and MCT before I go. When I turn 20, I want to go into OCS.

I haven’t decided on what I want to do in college, I want to do something that allows me to be free, and create, without having to work for anyone. I’m thinking about Visual Arts, Journalism, Engineering, somewhere a long those lines. I think I will be best off getting into Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering and doing something else that involves art.

I’m still confused about a lot of things in my long journey through my senior year. Lately I’ve also been getting criticized about joining the Marines. People think its stupid, well I don’t. I think it’s good and will qualify me a lot more, espescially in the goals I have. Everyone wants to live in my country, but no one is willing to die for it, as I am. We all naturally have things to live for, but must earn the things we must be willing to die for. I have earned pride, integrity, and dreams. I will soon earn the title of a United States Marine. No one can stop me.
