Personal Narrative: My Significant Moment In The Military
My significant moment in acknowledging the military was when as a child, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in Memphis. The country exhibited unrest and this was the first time I saw military members that were not televised. Actual tanks were going up and down our street with military members on the tank. This memory had an effect on me that I would never forget, though, I would experience it again as I toured other countries that our military occupied or had a military state. I joined the military and experienced both positive and negative aspects of an organizational culture and the characteristics of the group.

    Homeland Security Personal Statement

    I became a Department of Homeland Security government employee because I believed in the mission and felt compelled to dedicate a portion of my life to see an impact on our society. I am proud to share the mission with my children and displaying patriotism. The most powerful words I heard from my son the day he graduated from high school was “Mom, I am and have been very proud of you because of the work and the dedication you have shown me. I want to enlist and also show my dedication and commitment to our nation.” His words brought tears to my eyes. At that moment I realized that my actions did not only influence me.…

    Personal Narrative-My First Vietnam War

    The bloody plane was shot down…I was sleeping dreaming about a concoction of fish and chips and my home before the war. I lived on a farm, and I had my own horse…I miss him. My dad taught me how to ride when I was four; riding would provide me relief from school and farming. Anyways, I then I awoke to a storm of fire. The plane was literally sliced in two. I think the beastly enemy shot us down. Even though they shot us clean out of the sky, I wish to thank them and show some British manners to them because this island is beautiful. It has fruit, and the sights are more beautiful than anything back home. There are even pigs on the island that we could eat. Sadly, I thought myself alone until a booming noise thundered through the jungle. I was scared; I thought it was an earthquake, although I have never experienced one before.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Vietnam War

    When you are someone’s support system you take on multiple roles that indirectly deteriorate your self preservation. Being a listener or a shoulder to cry on, requires sacrifices that, in the moment, you do not even recognize as imposing. Voluntarily and willingly being there for someone begins with the unwavering doubt that you and your own problems cannot and will not prevail over your person’s immediate crisis. Depending on the duration of your duty, a somewhat selfish thought of inconvenience is bound to surface. But, that wave of retraction is almost always combatted by a riptide of dedication and loyalty that brings you back to sea, where all you can do is tread. In turn, the suppression of self regarding issues regularly comes with a layer of obligation and a sting of bitterness.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Vietnam

    First off, trip to Vietnam was truly a blessing. I did not expect so much of the trip until the first day I arrived Vietnam. On my first day, I got an opportunity to meet many great people who were selfless; those who cared more about others rather than themselves. It took approximately 14hours in total to arrive at hotel. Even though the plane ride was only about 5hours, since it was a group trip, it took extra time to ensure everyone is in right place. Despite the exhaustion and drowsiness, no one complained but encouraged others. I was already touched by grace of God before we even began our mission trip. On the second day, I volunteered for the medical service. There were two activities including the medical service, and house painting…

I had to move to 7 different elementary schools in one year. I was being sexually molested several times by these foster families and emotionally and physically as well. My parents finally were able to get back together and keep us somehow stable till the middle school.

    Essay On Marine Corps Journey

    The route I have taken after high school has definitely been the path less traveled. I enlisted into the United States Marine Corps after graduating high school to serve the country that welcomed me in with open arms as a refugee, and blessed me so much with freedoms and opportunities that I would have never obtained in Tibet or India. During my years in the Corps, I received the opportunity to travel the World, lead Marines, and make a difference. The Marine Corps has definitely been a steppingstone because it has rewarded me with a broader perspective of the World, military discipline and bearing, and many other intangible traits I plan to instill throughout my life. Also during my service, I gained very unconventional experiences that were…

Her grandmother is in her 60’s, so there wasn’t much texting going between us. I’d been trying to catch up with her all day to interview her, but I guess she had a very busy weekend.

    Patriotic Music Essay

    These men and women are not just of the past; there are so many eager and willing citizens even today that feel such patriotism they feel inclined to serve. Both my father and my brother were one of those people. After my dad serving in the Navy for 20 years, I’d become used to the military routine; the long expanses of time without him, the struggle for my mom to raise 3 children with her husband overseas and another portion that stuck out like a sore thumb - the music. I’d become so familiar with this music that it seemed void when I attended any event that didn’t begin with some sort of patriotic song. By far, the piece that made the biggest impression on me was “Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Sousa. I remember being held by my mother as my dad’s ship came in. On the naval base, there was a marching band playing that piece and it’s one of the most defining pieces in both my life and my view of American…
