I guess the way that I am different from anyone else in my life is 2 different things. The first thing being that I served in the active duty Army for almost four years and I am now currently serving in the Washington state National Gaurd. which makes me the only person in my direct family to serve at all in any armed forces. Even most of my friends have never served I mean their are a couple others that did serve but they arent real close friends more like accomplises but they did their part but never made the same comitment that I did. The other way that I am different from the others in my life is that I am going to be the first to graduate from college in my family so thats kind of a big thing and allot of people are proud of me for accomplishing all that I have.

A realism about life that I have realized is that lif it self is never fair and the more that you work at life the farther it will take you. That is why I stated in the first paragraph that I am attending school and getting ready to get out of the National Gaurd in about 11months so then I will jsut be attending school to try and get as far ahead in this world as I possibly can. because if you stand still life itself will pass you by. Well folks that aint gonna be me I'm gonn try and take as much as I can out of this life because when I die I wanna look dead.

What I got in life that I totally didnt expect to be what it to be. was my little girl she is a little ball of fire I could have never asked for a cuter litle girl. when she and i first met in person. she has grown a little but all she does is make new noises every new day. but our newest thing is that we are starting to hold hand and like to walk with eachother. so in short there is no way that I was able to estamate about how much I totally underestimated my daughter. and how much trouble she gets in every day or how loud she is. But no matter what I love her uncontrollably.

A time that caught my eye in Juniors life was almost exactly what happened in my life.

The instance I am talking about was when Junior told his best friend Rowdy that he was going to a different school(an all white school). Reardon will make it possible for Junior to have the possibilities for a better life he wont need to tell everyone that he went to some dumpy school on the REZ! he can say that he attended high school at Reardon. But when Junior told Rowdy about this,Rowdy kind of flipped out and got jealous. Junior asked Rowdy not to get mad and not to hate him but Rowdy didn't know any other way to act. So the end result was junior got punched in the face and rowdy treats Junior like a pile of slug slime.

The similar (or almost exactly but not exactly the same) thing that happened to me was I told my best friends that I had joined the Army! I was so excited. All but 1 friend was super proud of me and that 1 guy (Arron) thought I was a joke and laughed at me and said that I would NEVER make it through boot camp. so this went on for a couple days and I got annoyed with him laughing at me and talking about me behind my back and telling people how worthless and stupid I was for joining the Army. Everyone told him to shut up but he didn't because he was jealous of me. He wanted to join the Army but couldn't due to he had gotten arrested for DUI. so the next weekend we all (about 60 people of my friends and family) all met at Safeway that next weekend and he was there. We were all going out for my going away party. I walked right up to him and said your not welcome to come. he got pissed off and pushed me and called me a couple names. I sad that's why your not going because we are no longer friends so he took a swing at me and hit me in the left ear so I continued to beat the living tar out of him in Safeway parking lot until my friends pulled me off of him. I haven't talked to him since then. OH WELL!
