navy seals
After striving to indicate a person who has had a significant influence on me I have come to a conclusion, that rather than a individual person I have a particular group. This particular group is unlike any other in the I the world. This group consists of elite men who put their homeland before themselves, they are capable of putting the needs of others before their own. These men were willing to do everything and anything to become part of the elite group known around the world as the Navy Seals.

Navy seals are groups of elite soldiers, known around the world for their abilities in the air on the land and in the sea. These soldiers lead the world in their special oops. They are unlike another soldiers in the world, willing to risk their lives for anyone in need around the world. Ready to assist and cry for help.

I see the Navy Seals the way most people my age see pro sports players. Like pro sports players the SEALs are the best of the best. Their training and tactical work is so vigorous that their number one philosophy is "the easy day was yesterday". Which is one of many in the Navy. To be given the opportunity to serve my country a a Navy Seal would mean the world to me. I would spend every breathing moment being the best I can be for my country family and myself.

My plan was to enroll in the marines after high school and attain my college education from the military. My primary aspiration for my life was to exceed the achievements of my mother, who didn't graduate high school. I wanted to be able to say if I could do it why couldn't you? My mind and heart were consumed by the dreadful thought of my brothers and how they would never have the opportunities that I have been blessed with. It wasn't until I had opened up to my uncle Derek who is a marine that I had a change of

While my brother was a pretty smart guy he had never really been to apply himself nor did he have the drive to, but whatever had happened to him during army basic training had made a change in him; a change for the best. He came back and the transformation was evident in every single one of his actions and thoughts. He had a drive to accomplish all of his goals dreams and aspiration, not only that he had the discipline necessary to stay on his new found path. I went on to college in the fall fallowing his return from basic training not sure if these new traits and strength I saw in him would continue or disappear.

    When we think of the word elite, we immediately attribute it to better. The statement, “The Navy SEALs are an elite fighting force,” implies a level of special of them that gives them social power. Author Shamus Khan describes the elite as a sort of club in his novel, Privilege. This club consisted of almost entirely white males of wealthy descent who for a long time, through schools such as his alma mater, were able to maintain a hold over the power by passing it from generation to generation (Khan 23). Khan also argues that the historically wealthy families (the elite) are able to best take advantage of their wealth and familial prestige to better adapt to the society around them (Khan 199). Whilst Khan is quite correct in the assessment…
