Journal #4

Okay so in Psycology we are studying teenage crisis, I thought this would be a great topic for my blog just because i have gone through so many. Mine is about a family memeber who joined the army and left right before my brithday, then left for Iraq 2 weeks before my birthday... Happy Birthday to me. My big brither Mike was always there for me and never left my side. he was my protector and the greatest brother because he always spoiled me! :D After 9/11 happened he realized he was nto going to go to college right away, so he joined the army in spite of everything that had happened. I did not want him to leave but he was 18 and it was his choice. I was so scared for him and never wanted him to leave my side and just be there for when i grew up. After he graduated he stayed the summer, but not long after that in August he left to train for the army. As if it was not hard enough saying goodbye to him, we were moving at the end of September! I was so mad at my parents because nothign new was going to happend, my dad was not getting a pay raise they just wanted him to transfer. Of course we were already into school and i even had a boyfriend that made me so happy! I fit in where i was at but NC was a completley different place. I felt like i was deserting my family in Florida. 7th grade year had gone by adn Mike was with a company called the Stryker Birgade. Which those are types of vehicles that are double armor plated. In july he recieved notice that his unit was being deployed in august. Two weeks before my brithday my mom flew to Washington state to sya goodbye but she would nto let me go with her... I was so upset even though i did recieve a call from him and a letter which sorta made me feel better!
