Growing Up To Become Myself

If someone would have told me six years ago that I would become a soldier, I would have smacked them. I ship off October 31st for basic training. Each day that goes by between now and then I wonder if I have made a mistake. I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing or if I made a split second decision. The opportunities that come with this commitment are spectacular. I will be able to get a 4 year degree in criminal justice like I've always wanted to. The money I will make will set me on my way to becoming a home owner. Is the price of war worth a nice home?
