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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
