Risking It

   

   Yes. All he said was yes, and walked away. I was really confused, but I decided not to bother him, I think he was already mad at me. I just went on with my die everything felt the same now. As days went on all I did was train, train, and train. I wish they would give us a time off, I missed my parents, I did think I’d miss them so much and their nagging. Now that there actually gone I feel really bad.

   I couldn’t take it anymore I had to see them, I was going to make a special request to my head sergeant. If he said no I don’t even know what I would have done, so saying that he did say yes, but I would have to sneak past the gate which was guarded by patrol. He told me if I were to get in trouble I would get kicked out of the training camp, but I personally think it was worth the risk to see my parents.

The Day

   Today was the day I talked to Jack, after I got up, had breakfast, I went over to him at the training course. I called his name, he turned around, saying I wasn’t supposed to talk to him. I told him I knew that, but before I did that, I had one question for him, and that was why he didn’t want me near him. He exhaled and said, once were in the battle field, if one of us were to lose our lives, we would be devastated, and scared. It took me a while to process all that, but after that I said, but we if we don’t stay together, we would have a higher chance of losing our lives. He told me he needed to think about it, and he’ll come to me with an answer. After that I went on with me training, trying not to bother him, as he told me. I was really eager to find out what his answer would be. I think he is going to say that, we could stay together, which is what I’m hoping for.

Struggles

      I saw him meet eyes with mine, he started to walk towards me, and he didn’t look to friendly. Once he came over, he said he didn’t want me anywhere near him, and he walked away. I was so confused, did I do something wrong, have I ever met him before. I really wanted to go over to him and ask what I had done, but I’d rather not tick him off.

   Back to training as usual, as I was training, Jack, I overheard his name as he was talking to my head sergeant, he was part of my squad. I might as well quite, he’s in my squad, and I’m not supposed to associate. We have team work exercises, and I’m pretty sure were going to get teamed up, so great. I feel like my time in training got a whole lot worse than it already was. Just to make it easier for me, I asked my head sergeant if I can switch squads for personal reasons, he asked me what was wrong with his squad. I didn’t want to let him down, so I said never mind sorry for wasting your time sir. Tomorrow during training, I don’t care what he’ll do I’m going to ask him why he doesn’t want me near him, and that was that.  

The Force - Chapter 3- The Decision

-Chapter 3-

   

   I needed time think about what was going to do. I didn't want to die, I didn't have the bravery to go to war. I would probably be well known for what I had done. There are its ups and downs. I decided not to tell my parents about what I had heard, they would probably not let me go on with anything that had to do with the military. After the whole day walking around town thinking, I decided to go on with it. If I didn’t go what would I do instead, I had no idea how to do anything, and I have no intention to actually learn how to do something.

   I told my head sergeant, and he was glad to have me back in training. If I was to go on I would have 2 years of training ahead of me. That two years to mentally, and physically prepare myself, to go to war. I really hope I can push through all the training, and become the best that I could be. 

     After a couple of days into training, I saw something that caught my eye, I saw a new rookie come through the gates, my luck had changed, it was another German Shepard, a pure breed. From the start I knew we had to be friends.

Training

 




  After enrollment I was supposed to go to my head sergeant, my teacher. I was assigned to Mr. Rolland. He was a Doberman Pincher, a very strict one at that. Since today was my first day I would do my evaluation. They would test my speed, my endurance, my strength, and my capability to take extreme pain. I think I did well, I would see it in tomorrow, with the rest of my breed. They had a board of test results in that category of breed, in my case German Shepard. I was excited to see how well I did compared to the other German Shepard's.

   It was the next day and I ran out of my dorm, which I was assigned with no one in it. I came up to the board, looked under German Shepard, and there was one score, which was mine. I was the only German Shepard in the Academy. I was confused maybe it was a mistake, I ran up to my head sergeant and asked why there weren't any German Shepard's on the list besides me. He took me aside and told me that parents of German Shepard's don't let them into the academy because all German Shepards are in the front lines and there life expectancy is low. I was now scared out of my mind, what was I supposed to do?

The Start

   I finally got in, after all that hard work I got into the Academy of Dogs In Training (DIT). They sent a letter in the mail saying we have accepted your pup to be in the Academy of Dogs In Training. Congratulations. That meant that I passed all my tests and tomorrow I would be heading off to training camp tomorrow. I was so glad I told my parents, they were proud of me, but also sad that I was leaving. I told them I would be ok. It was the next day and I was off. I packed my bags and walked to the academy. It wasn't such a long walk to the academy so when I can I will visit them, to make sure there doing alright.

   When I got there, there were all types of dogs, but me I was a pure breed German Shepard, and I was proud to be one. I came into the sign-up office and waited in line to enroll. While was waiting in line I saw the head of the academy Mr. Hunnigan, a huge German Shepard, and I meant huge, he was twice the size of my father, and my father was a regular sized German Shepard. He came up to me my face was at his shoulder blades. He asked me if I was ready for anything that came my way, I was scared to see what would happen but I said yes. He nodded his head and walked away. I was now scared to see what would happen next in my training.

School Breaks

School Break

 

 

 

   I am going to go off topic and talk about school breaks. Around five or six years ago school started in mid-September, now its starts mid-August. I feel like the change is worse for both students and parents. Parents need a break from taking their children to school, helping them, and making sure they get picked up from school. I feel like parents get stressed from taking their children to school, and making sure they have good grades. They need a longer break. For children, they dont want to go to school, they want a longer break.

   For example my mother was getting tired of worrying about my grades if, not saying I get bad grades, I wasn't doing so well. She was also getting stressed from taking to me school. Before the shorting of summer break I would say she and other parents had more time to relax and recover. Over all I doubt anyone liked the shortening of summer break. I think the only good things that come from it is that we get to see our friends earlier and teachers get paid more.
