The day was finally upon me, today is deployment day, this is what I’ve been training for my whole life and what a great line up I have with me…
It was December 26, I was in the New Year deployment squad, Me, Tahm, Kate, Lee and Rek. We were all newbies but had top grades in boot camp so we got sent to the field. We didn’t have very good communication but it should come with time, plus we haven’t lost yet.
Today I talked to big boss Zac, he says were being deployed tomorrow and wants me to be in charge in the field which I’m totally fine with because that’s what’s been happening in camp anyway. The day has finally come, deployment day, the squad was all geared up and in the banshee ready for a fight. We arrived at the drop

    For me this is the scary experience because I have a kid in my chalk that is not even trained yet. It is my responsibility to protect him at all costs. If I make the wrong calls all of us could die, and I do not think I will be able to live with myself if my team died because of me. I have been praying all day that nothing goes wrong, and this turns out to be a simple snatch and grab mission, going all according to plan. The plane is taking off and I have never been this nervous or scared in my life.…

    Growing up, I always loved building with boxes of assorted Legos and K’NEX, and as I often spent most of my childhood playing around in the basement where my father stored all the scrap wood, tools, and screws, I inevitably began to adventure into the more creative world of designing and assembling without limitation. From my first experience building a stool for Cub Scouts to my most recent internship in the Biomedical Engineering department at the University of Delaware, I have constantly surrounded myself with creation, always exploring my inquisitive nature. My love for design especially draws me to Brown with its open curriculum and encouragement of a broad education in engineering while also specializing in my specific interest. Through…

    Friday. T minus 15 hours till the last day of camp. The Saturday volunteer cancelled. My game plan was crumpled up and trashed. “Why hadn’t I thought of backup plan?” I asked myself, on the verge of pulling out my hair. I hadn’t taken into account all the variables and now I was receiving the repercussions. I had no idea becoming the Transportation Coordinator for a camp would be so stressful.…

    It was then I had a sudden, shocking realization. Everyone who came, all thirty-five people, were here because of me and my vision to help the community. This project was born because of my idea of helping restore the church property and, hopefully, improve the relationship between the troop and the church. But, this was all mine and I took the helm and guided it through the murky, rough seas to get it to this point. I learned I could be a leader and both adults and my peers respected me, saw my dedication and determination, and followed my lead. This realization brought a smile to my tired, dirty face, and gave me a boost of energy to help me finish off the…

    The sun was still hiding behind the Earth, as I took off into the Bavarian countryside. Through mile five I had a firm grip on fifth place and was keeping a solid cadence.

    The next thing I know is that the train starts moving. It moves for three more days and I am crammed in one car with twenty other people who were enlisted. Finally, we arrive at Fort Stewart. I immediately get off the train and walk off to the barrack arrangements. After that, I walk to my barracks and find a bed that will be mine. I unload my stuff and change into a tee-shirt with some baggy green jeans with tears on the knees. At that moment everybody else came in, found their beds, and changed. Then a grumpy drill sergeant came in and screamed at us like the way mom would scream at me after I threw up on the table after our once a week veggie dinner. First, we start off with doing an obstacle course. Running and running I come up to a wall with ropes dangling from the top. I rapidly climb half way and see the guy next to me fall and break his arm. Finally, I get to the top and make my way down. After that, I am at the point where I can jump. The next thing is army crawling through mud with barbed wire above our head. It might seem nasty at first but it is very refreshing from how tired we are. When I came out I saw another guy that had his entire arm cut up from the wire. The last course was swimming across the lake while officers shoot blanks at us to make us experience the sound of war and in the most dangerous situation. By the time that is done, it is time to go to sleep. In the morning an officer plays the…

    Sailing is one of the only things that I have done since I was little. Ballet, I did that for a while, and then skipped that. My obsession with fashion designing, however, definitely grew out of it. Dora the Explorer, well, it would be weird if I still liked that. We still sail, and I had always heard adrenalin rushing stories of adventure on sailing trips or racing. I never thought I would live one of those, especially without my parents and even weirder, on a girl scout camping trip. Anyone who has been a part of Girl Scouts, knows that there is a safety rule for EVERYTHING. There are a safety rules for the safety rules, which is why my parents let me be a part of the trip with seven girls and a captain I and my parents had never met before.…
