New Day

I have never felt as much urgency to live my life with purpose as I do now. I feel as if every action, even to what I watch on television, has a significant influence on my future. I feel as if up to this point I had been pretending, wasting my time and other people's money; I was just playing - having a good time at everyone elses expense. Now, I will be responsible for other people's safety - in fact responsible for the safety of the world. I have a grand purpose now and as a result my lesser goals feel less frivolous, less randomly chosen. I am proud to be in the Army.
