I remember the first day I stepped into the lobby of McNair Academic. There were so many questions floating into my mind. Will I get my first boyfriend here? Will I belong into a clique? Will I be found? Will I be lost? Will I have people to call my best frinds? Will I get in trouble? Who will be my enemies? What the hell am I doing here? There were a million questions running back and forth through my head. I remember the first time I discovered JROTC and when it was James Hairston who recruited me. I remember how I always thought he was cute and how I knew he had so much potential before he became a household name. I remeber my first fort dix trip and how Beggs told Greg to take off his sunglasses and greg told him later that they were transitions. I rememer so much good things about freshman year. My first year, my first award-superior cadet decoration award. I remeber our first drill comp, second , and third, I remeber when I was first dropped, when I had my first PT. I remeber when I went from nothing to corporal to staff sergeant to 2nd lt to major and now...........to retired. All those medals those ribbons will no longer be worn down the halls of my school.
Even though I am giving back my uniform for next wave of freshman to come, I am trading it in for a navy one. Now, when i go off to the naval academy all those memories and accomplishments will forever be worn ......in my heart and in my soul. I pray to God I will accomplish just as much in one of the hardest institutions in the country and prolly the world, then I did here at my home.
Ana, though we became close only last year, our friendship has flourished dramatically.Though I barely tell anyone how much I love them, I am telling you, that I love you so very much,. Though you are younger than me, ironically, you have not only been a sister to me . but also an aunt , a godmother to me. May your heart forever be strong, as I know it is, you are going to kick ass next year. Let your heart alwyas be free.
Lady, we have bacame close this year, but your charisma, love, life, and kindness has been a guiding light to me everyday. You have done so much for me you have absolutlely no clue. I love you so much. Remeber to write me, I need your encouraginf words and great sense of fashion.
Daniella, You are truly a blessing for a friend I love you so much. I remeber all those times when you offered me a ride when i was in a cast and how you did it with a smile. Your smile always made me smile and will forever be scarred in my heart.
Yolisse, oh yolisse, your spunk , flair, and loud ass mouth always took that sad grin off my face. You always were there when I needed you, you always were willing to give me a helping hand when I needed it the most. I will need your kick ass inspiration when I am drowning and pushing this summer.Luv ya forever.
Emilia, oh lord jesus christ emilia, though we have had a little turbulence in the middle, we made it through. Your insane laughter and obsession with cute guys has always brought out the kid in me. LOL!You broke through my hard shell and have been a great friend to me. You will always be in my heart. I love you so much and I will miss you lots.Never ever let anyone say you are not capable, when you are!
And of course, I can not forget my sweetheart Nina. Nina, you have always gone out a mile for your frinds including me. Your heart and crazy laughter has never failed to bring light into the atmosphere. Your skill for bringing out people from the dark will take you far.Your kindness and good heart is commendable and will always beam in my heart and soul. And if no one can see those qualiteis then they are truly lost. You are the sister I never had and you have proven me that there is still good in this world. I love so little one.
You guys , will forever be prisoners in my heart. Your words and laughter and tears and yealls will forever echo in my soul. I thank you for making my senior year, the best year in my life. YOu gave me my first ever birthday party which was amazing by the way, and you gave me a reason to come to school.
And for all those who I have had problems with in the past, yea you Adrienne, ..............I love you guys too. I hope the best for you and the academy is missing out on alot ag. I never hated you, I no longer have a grudge against you, I just hope that when we see eachother in the future, we don't turn the other way. And if you have a grudge against me, thats fine, just sooner or later, it is goin to have to die out.
James, Greg, Buddha, DI, Khair bear, Melissa, Sosie, sony, henry, ag, James m, James H, and of course my west point enemy erick, it has been an honor working with the best future leaders God has to offer. I love you.
The battalion I love you guys too.You guys are going to have a great year next year, you guys got kick ass commanders. And for those of you that are not happy with who they are, then you are truly missing out. Because I know for a fact they would travel the world for you. Just like we did.
This is Cassie, C/Maj Soto, your XO, your drill team commander, signing out and know that the best is yet to come.
P.S. Don't forget me. |
