Personal Narrative: Becoming Apart Of The National Guard

625 Words3 Pages

I believe in the act of paying it forward, and treating others the way you want to be treated in the midst of it. Ever since I was a little girl, I always had a heart to help anyone that I was able to. I hated seeing others down, making it seem as if I was higher than them when I had nothing. I believed that if I was in their shoes, I would want someone to help me. Seeing homeless people on the side of the streets sad, hungry, desperate for just a bite of a sandwich or even a couple dollars to get them by for the next few days, made me realize how much I want to help people who are in need. This is the reason I am becoming a nurse practitioner and become apart of The National Guard. Desperation strongly shows in oneself, especially those in …show more content…

He had become extremely depressed and put something on facebook that sounded as if he was going to harm himself. I knew then that I needed to do whatever I could to help him not just for the sake of his life, but the sake of my brothers. I then proceeded to talk to him and eventually calmed him down enough to where he wasn’t thinking of harmful things. I let him know that my brothers and I want him around, and that I would help him get back up on his feet. He was still living in his car at this point, with no money, no food, no gas, and on a suspended license. I knew in my heart, that I needed to help him, so I did the best I could with my resources and sent him money to help him until he was able to receive his disability paycheck two weeks later. He needed to go to the doctor, pay for his meds, eat, get gas, and have a small portion just for an emergency. That following Monday, I sent him some food, and a little more money to help get his medications he needed for the time being. During this entire time, I was also trying to help him find a home to stay in so he wasn’t hurting and in danger while sleeping in his car. He is now staying with my cousin

Review Of Father Gregory Boyle's Tattoos On The Heart

1104 Words | 5 Pages

I was away from all of my friends and family and I felt I had no one to talk to, but that is when one of the midshipmen (Naval Academy Students) noticed a change in my demeanor and decided to talk to me about it, his name was Tyler Weeks. At first I was hesitant to tell him but I couldn't go through this alone so I told him about the situation and after he had heard everything I had to say he did three things, first he began to sympathize, he told me that he was very sorry for my loss and that it wasn't something that anyone my age should have to go through, hearing this made me feel a little better about the situation but it didn't stop there. Secondly he empathized telling me how his special needs sister was bullied just earlier that year and it led her to an attempt on her own life and so he understood the fear and pain that comes with suicide, and suddenly I didn’t feel alone, however nothing would move me as much as him walking me to my dorm and talking with me until I felt better because he cared enough about a 16 year old kid he had known for a few days to do that and it has stuck with me ever

National Guard Case Study

899 Words | 4 Pages

National Guard Recruiting Assistance Program Fraud and Abuse In 2005 the Recruiting Assistance Program was initiated to help the National Guard meet end strength requirements. Four years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq transformed the National Guard from a Strategic Reserve into an Operational Reserve and the National Guard was having a difficult time meeting end strength requirements due to operational tempo requirements and normal attrition from ETS and retirements. Being a member of the National Guard during this time I personally witnessed an increased number of ETS, retirements and transfers of Soldiers to the Army Reserves due to mobilizations or rumors of upcoming mobilizations between 2001 and 2006. The National Guard needing to fill shortages enlisted the help of a company named Document and Packaging Broker Inc. (Docupak, Inc.) who used a civilian based recruiting strategy to fill the

Personal Narrative Essay: Being A Military Brat

1223 Words | 5 Pages

From the moment I was born I was considered a military brat, I was born in Hawaii at tripler hospital because my mom was in the army and stationed there, my biological father was in the marines. When my mom remarried when I was 7, she married a man who was in the Navy. Everyone thinks being a Military brat just means you know more than other people because you 've been more places and seen more things and you get a lot of stuff you want. This is not true at all. Coming from a military background means you never have stability, you are held to a higher standard than all the other kids, and sometimes it makes you want to be in the military and only focus on that.

Personal Narrative: My Growing Up As A Military Kid

544 Words | 3 Pages

I was born in Fort Polk, Louisiana, an infamous army base, however I cant remember this period much because my family relocated back to Houston before I could walk. So instead of growing up as a typical military kid, I developed the habits of a city kid. As one would expect, coming up in America’s fourth largest city I was a very small fish in the ocean, so my childhood was very competitive and extremely fast paced. With so much happening around from minute to minute I generally didn’t have the pleasure of sitting around to contemplate my reality. Even in school I remember having to constantly compete with my classmates just to receive the least amount of attention.
