New Start

Today marks a new beginning for me. It is a new start because I made my first adult decision since I turned 18 in January. I have officially enlisted into the United States Navy. I never really thought I would ever join the Navy. Ever since I was little, I would have never pictured myself, or really gave it a though, until sophomore year high school, when army recruiters keep on coming to my school. I was first interested in the National Guard. It was a nice idea for my plan to stay for college. To stay and continue my education and if I was needed it wouldn't intrude my studies. But who knew I would change my mind.

What I think helped/ influenced my mind to change my mind from the National Guard to the Navy was my cousin Bryan, who is in the Marine Corp, and important event that happened in December of last year. But the detail of that even deserves its own post. It is amazing how people can influence you so much and help you do things that you never dream of doing. I seriously still can believe I enlisted until I was at the mechanic for an oil change for my car when one of the recruiters called me. I was so caught off guard, but I think it made me grow up a little. Realizing it was real and making an appointment on Monday at 3 for taking the practice test to enlist or something.

I haven’t even told my family yet. But I guess it feels right to hide it for now, because I don’t want my family to talk me out of it. But if I had to let one of my family members know, it would have to be my cousin Bryan, the one who is in the Marines. Because I think he would be the most understanding. But who knows for now, I really have to think about it. I guess after the practice test I will decide who I will tell/ let know.  I am so racked on who I should tell that I am starting to get a migraine! DX

But thinking now, I still have my doubt about the whole think. It is not like I am not excited to serve my home county. It is just whether I should serve right away or go to college and then serve. Ugh! Why must there be so much pressure on me? So many decision for next year and I haven’t even graduated high school yet!

Well this is the end of my first post, I hope you enjoyed it!
