I never saw any go to Captain's Mast for doing stupid things, like many of the straights. I knew an E-6 (with over 13 years dedicated service) who was 'penciled in' for the Office of the Commandant of the Air Force. Just before she was to receiver her orders, she was 'outed' by a stupid little, low life twit who she trusted. One weekend she came to visit my wife and me and asked one of the girls in her office to take care of her guinea pig, she went through her things, and then turned her in a few months later as the twit was checking out. It didn't matter she was a top performer.

Mrs. Mckannan said there was a major lack of interest this year and very few students were running.
Parents make the first step in creating adversity for their children. My mother took her first step when she was eighteen years old. Breaking her family’s hearts and leaving to drive across the country with her best friend, my mother set out on her first real adventure. Her mother and two siblings were left at home, missing a vital piece of their family, a father. Now on top of that, my mother was gone as well.
The person in my family who stood out the most was my mother. Her father died when she was an infant so my grandmother had to go to work, leaving my mother and her two siblings alone. She spoke only Spanish, which made it difficult for her to want to stay in school. My mother ended up with only a third grade education and she never learned how to read.

Some how in order for me to be the greatest nurse I had to get my grade point average up and a high ACT. My mother and I have always had an awkward relationship. She had never said congratulation or I am very proud of you. I always took things to heart so when i had decided that I was going away from home to go to college she took things to heart and all you would hear was discussion of how irresponsible I was. Graduation finally came, never did I hear those words till the day I moved into my room this
