Each soldier carried at least twenty pounds of supplies, weapons, and rations on their backs. They would walk all day, and all night. They didn’t even know where they were going or where they would stop. The things they carried were largely determined by necessity. Tim O’Brien writes “Some of the necessities were P-38 can openers, pocket knives, heat tabs, wristwatches, dog tags, mosquito repellent, chewing gum, candy, cigarettes, salt tablets, packets of Kool-Aid, lighters, matches, C rations and two or three canteens of water. By necessity, and because it was standard operating procedure they all carried steel helmets that weighed five pounds. On their feet they carried jungle boots, which weighed two pounds. They also carried a steel-centered nylon covered flak jacket which weighed seven pounds” (O’Brien 266). Besides the three standard weapons- the M-60, M-16, and M-79, they carried whatever they thought appropriate. The men would sometimes discard ammunition during the day along the trail to lighten their weight. They did this because the choppers would be coming the next morning to give them more ammo. They often smoked dope together and picked fun at one another during the evening to pass the time.…

One day in English, we were asked to talk about a life changing incident in our lives. I have had this assignment before but I was to sad to talk about such a subject. We go around the circle. People talk about their golden goal in a soccer game or their first job. All they talked about were happy things. It was my turn.…
That day, my friends had gone to the bathroom and were staying there for a long time. They had asked me to go too, but I knew that they were up to mischief again, so I refused. However, after a long time, they still hadn’t returned. The teacher asked me to go with a classmate to check on them.…

When I finally arrived at one of the camps later that night, I gratefully sat down on a fallen log that had been pushed around the fire and gulped in some much needed air. The camp was just a small clearing off the road. A fire pit sat in the middle with about ten logs around it. There were no tents or signs of shelter aside from a couple of low hanging branches that could provide some protection from a light rain or a particularly bright sun. A thin river ran at the far end of the camp, which was a small incline about ten feet deep with a couple of willows and an assortment of other trees that benefit from the running water. I took the pack off of my shoulder and felt for the small pouch that contained the only thing, besides my sympathies, that I had to offer the small dying boy who would likely visit my mind for the rest of my life. There was only a small piece of stale bread left, although I had tried to make it last. My stomach rumbled at the memory of the last hot meal I had, which had been a fortnight ago at the church during our last check-in. Some of the other carriers that were there looked over from their modest dinners (meals?), while others continued their conversations.…

One event in which all involved parties can still laugh about and I believed had brought a significant change to me, and affect me still today. My closest bond I have today it is my relationship with my mother. While our mother-daughter bond has been a blessing we have had the highs and lows of love. There were times when it has been joy and moments which can only be described as maneuvering through a minefield. Most females can relate to this journey through in life. In this relationship, hearts can be broken, feelings can be hurt, and the best intentions can turn a mistake into resentment. With patience and lots of love a mother and daughter can be develop a friendship and a trusting bond strengthened for a lifetime.…

It was supposedly the best summer of my life. My parents finally agreed that I can drive to work although I did not have a driver’s permit. I was so excited because I had never driven a car without someone by my side. So I got in what was supposedly going to be my car and vanished in seconds before they thought about changing their minds. The few weeks after that day were smooth as I had begun to take good control of the car, and everything was running smoothly except for a small filter that I was going to change which made the car turn off on its own. With my mother always telling me to drive safe before leaving the house, I often did… until that night.…

My family was gone. I came home to find them lying on their pool of blood. I didn’t know when or how it happened, but I have a pretty good idea who did it. I wept and was lost for a moment until Sir Lasky found me. He took me to the other survivors. Since then I knew life would no longer be easy. I trained with the other youths. We were taught how to hold weapons and protect ourselves. No day would pass by without us getting bruised. If things were normal I would say it was cool. But in these times when lives are at stake I realize it isn’t.…
