Growing up in a southern baptist church is one of the major influences on my personal values. My great grandparents were the pastor and first lady. They were also two of the five founders of the church. No matter what I am doing or what life throws at me I revert back to my upbringing. I remember being so young learning the ten commandments and Psalms 23. I was taught at a very young age that Jesus is the son of God and he never sinned. It was etched into my head that I could be and should want to be like the son of God, without sin. I lived my life based on my Christian background until I was 17. I was a freshman at tech, I met a guy, and I sinned with him. I got pregnant less than a year later and was treated like I was having Rosemary’s baby. I thought to myself Jesus would not treat me this way. Something is wrong with this situation. I would often cry myself to sleep. I was treated as if I had no morals or values. I did not understand the full situation, but I do know that I would never treat my child or any child like this.
After I had my daughter, I dropped out of school and decided to join the army. I gave my mother temporary custody of my daughter and I left for basic training when she was barely one years old. I learned so much about the army values, serving God and my country. The army values Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage.
