How Caleb Stilinski Changed My Life
On June 25, 2012 my life changed more than I ever expected.
First let me introduce myself, my name Caleb Stilinski I was born in Texas, but was raised in the hot humid Los Angeles,California. growing up I was a military brat,my father Capt.Stilinski was never around that much to experience the main growing up parts in my life because he was an active Navy Seal for about 10 years before I was born and still enlisted when my mother gave birth to me on September 3,1991 my mother never liked the idea of my father leaving us alone but that was the only way we had food on the table. Growing up in Los Angeles is way different than living in Texas, In Los Angeles you, feel free because there's more than one culture everywhere you go. In Texas you get judged and lot for your culture or your ethics, but luckily we moved to California when I was 8. My whole life I didn't know what I wanted to be my mother always told me to go to college to become something or someone but on the other hand my father always told me to follow his footsteps and join the Navy Seals. My mother, Allison was against me joining. My father always told me “ You're not a man if you're not in the service” i guess after him yelling at me, I did start thinking about my future if it …show more content…
was such a good idea for me to join the service. I remember my dad and mother always fighting how the military is not supporting them, it's not enough for a household of 4, I also forgot to mention I have a twin brother Liam we might identical twins but we are two different people, but the only thing we have in common is the same parents, the same friends, and it seems like we're heading down the same future career wise. Senior year, class of 2009 Liam and I talked to a recruiter of The Navy Seals
Deciding whether to join or not join.
We thought about what we're leaving behind us if we do join, We knew our mother would be disappointed but our father would be proud. We had made our decision but it was a difficult one i decided to join but liam decided to go to college, He thinks he’ll get a better career out of college. I do plan on going to college one day but i feel like it's not the right time. I leave on june 16, 2009 to basic training a week after graduation. My mom wasn't happy when i broke the news to her, She even started crying it broke my heart knowing my mother is going to have me in her mind all the time praying for me to return home with every piece in my body just like i
left. Boot camp lasted 3 months, At first i thought it was easy but my mind
Changed right away. I wasn't in shaped so exercising was going horrible i will always get screamed at for stopping
