Joe Bonham was a soldier who almost lost his life fighting for his country. If he wasn’t unconscious when the bomb dropped and he lost his legs and almost died, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be thinking for himself, ’‘this is great, I fought for my country and died with honor.’’ Almost everybody wants to live and taking another persons life is to me the worst think anybody can do. There is not anything worth killing for, not democracy, not peace and certainly not when u have the intensions of
I was torn between staying with my mom and being with the one whom I’d always lived with. It was a tough decision but I decided it was better for me to stay here, with my mom. A couple months had passed ,and it was hard not always being with my dad but with a phone call a day and skyping, we made it work. Before I knew it June 1st, 2009 had came along. I had just finished middle school and I was about to take a big step and enter high school the next year.
Killed my folk a year ago, still in Robinson 2 my sleep they threaten me. Paranoia stressing me, ain't nobody protecting me. I'm dealing with the pressure from my partner dying next to me. Think 'cause no one's arrested, they coming for me eventually. This was all the things I was going through mentally.” I think he’s telling some secrets behind the music industry and the things that some artists go through every day.
Luckily he understood what I was going through at the time. Depression is the last step I went through with losing my step-dad. After he past I only seen a horrible end and nothing beyond it. I felt hopeless and didn’t know what do. I turned to myself, and no matter what other people said it didn’t help me.
I have always known what I wanted in life since a young age and was never going to let anyone or anything get in the way of that dream. Or so I thought… Reflecting upon my future, all I hoped for was a degree and a happy, healthy family. As senior year progressed, I met a handsome boy and he changed everything. “United States Marine Corps”, this is something I have come to know, love and slightly fear. Although I am proud for the commitment the love of my life has made for this country, I worry where that path is going to lead us.
The hundreds of friends that I had, dwindled down to about ten or so that I keep in touch with on a regular basis. Even though it wasn’t fun finding this out at first, this is something that really helped me realize what a true friendship was. The true friendships that I made while I lived there I still have to this day, even though there is a distance of thousands of miles. Yet, through all this, one of the greatest things that influenced me is the summer when I moved to Virginia. I had absolutely no one here that I knew, I spent that whole summer by myself, but in all reality there was someone there all along.
I graduated and went on to attend Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism/Public Relations. One month later, I landed my first job in the City of Miami as an intern in the Communications Department. After the internship, I was hired as a temporary employee, where I assisted in various tasks. Although, I was happy I had a job, I did not get the opportunity to excel as often as I did in other aspects of my life. For two and ½ half years, I struggled to obtain a permanent position in the city, even being overlooked when a new position opened up in the department.
I took some classes and shortly I was only 2 classes away from receiving my Associates Degree, but things and priorities changed in my life. I got married to my beautiful wife Cyndi in December 2002 and we shortly had a child on the way. I also converted my job in the Navy to Navy Career Counselor. Because of these changes in my life I put off college and did not pick it back up again till this class. I have found that I really like working and helping people.

Later that night, I thought about it more and it actually was the best thing for me. A couple weeks later I ran into Alex again and set up my appointment. Behind my parents back, I joined the "finest Navy" in the world. Boot camp started out kind of rough and it was a real eye opener. I struggled on the testing portions because I learn better hands on.
