I'm Proud To Be A Military Supporter

Why can't you accept that?

I'm Proud To Be A Military Supporter

What's my opinion on the military?

Well, I got reasons. There's so much. I'm a military supporter. Why can't you accept that?

Just maybe you can't accept I'm the military brat. Maybe you can't accept that I'm carrying on the tradition of the military. Maybe you can't accept the fact military has my number one priority.

Not everyone is college material. Nor military material. I wasn't college material, but I moved on to get my military dream. I'm happy to be a part of a family that's a good one. I'm happy to say that I'm finally getting the respect I should get. I followed each dream.

I know a lot of people in the military. My grandparents were in the military. My uncle was in the military. My cousin was also in the military. I'm hoping I can take their position and take over. Marines, Army-Air Force, Airforce, and such.

If you really knew me, I'm a troops supporter.

Marines.

Navy.

Army.

Air Force.

Reserves.

Coast Guard.

National Guard.

Each branch has a purpose of why I'm such a huge supporter.

Marines. My grandfather and my cousin were marines. Semper Fi.

Navy. I see their purpose watching "NCIS," if you knew that show, you'd get why I have that purpose.

Coast Guard. They rescue people from the oceans and so forth. That's bravery.

Army. My grandmother was a part of the Army Air Forces, which was known back then. She was a great person, I heard.

Air Force. My uncle and my grandmother were in the military. I'm glad I get to say I'm carrying the tradition of going into the Air Force. 💕 it's by all my favorite branch.

I could watch any movie with a military theme in it and still be fascinated by one thing. I'll do anything to make sure my troops have a safe flight or ride home. If you wanted to get someone back in your arms, what would you do? Be patient, they'll be back. I do believe that troops should have the right to leave if they wanted.

There's always something the military has taught me. That's respect, loyalty and bravery. Especially taking risks.

Lead me, follow me, or get the hell out of my way. — George S. Patton Jr., "Patton Principles"

That's me. I'm chasing my dreams. Either you follow me, lead me or I push you out of my way.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
