Trejo: Journal Analysis
Trejo.Session1.Journal
The event that comes to mind regarding this weeks reflection was when I graduated high school.
I was raised by a single mother who always worked to support my brother and I. We both knew their wasn't anyway she could afford to pay for college, so we both enlisted in the Navy. My brother and I both went to bootcamp together, but when it came to our specific job we parted ways. I went on to become a Hospital Corpsman and he decided on the Machinist Mate rating, because he wanted to travel the world. Once I reported to my duty station, I tried to register for classes, but I was unable for a year due to my military duties. Eventually I started taking classes, but not as much as I wanted. Over the next four years I attended

    Mike Clark Narrative

    Brutal training left a significant impact on the lives of soldiers during the Vietnam War. After Clark went through basic training, the army decided that it would be best for him to become a medic. After he learned the fundamentals of training, Clark went further into training and medical school as well. Clark describes his strenuous training in Medic School as he states, “Wound training, put dressings on wounds, inject morphine, or training for giving shots, that kind of thing. Setting bones. Tracheotomy, if need be. Just your basic medic stuff. The whole idea was to keep somebody alive until they could be medivaced and seen by a doctor: surgeon” (Clark). His explanations of the misery he witnessed during the war provides an insight into Clark’s life and how he diligently trained to become the professional medic that the army needed. Clark also states, “Well, when I got to Vietnam, I really realized how much I didn’t know, but then again, the Army gives you so much training and you’re really not prepared for what you’re gonna see in Vietnam” (Clark). Clark emphasized how reality of the countless days of training didn’t compare towards the harsh battles fought in Vietnam. Training to become a medic served as a significant part of Clark’s journey in the Vietnam War. American Ground Forces in the Vietnam War written by Hunter Keeter, explains the foundations of training that soldiers would learn after they’ve joined the military. In comprehending the general training of soldiers, Keeter states, “Army recruits were schooled for eight weeks in basic combat training and then received eight weeks of advanced individual training, where they learned the skills associated with their military occupational specialty”(Keeter). Basic training serves as a fundamental part of becoming a soldier, Keeter breaks down the process that soldiers go through in order to fight…

    Personal Narrative: Moving Away From Home

    I didn't grow up in the most conventional household. My parents both worked and we consistently had babysitters and nannies taking care of us most of my childhood. My mom was the “breadwinner” she had always made significantly more than my dad and there was really no reason for my dad to work in the first place, he really just did it because he loved it. As my 4 brothers and I got older it got progressively harder on my parents being away from home so much. When a job opportunity with less hours and a sizable amount of money came to my mom she was quick to consider it. She eventually made her decision, consulting my dad very little, she made the decision to move across the country to a place we all had never been to.…

    Why I Want To Be An Immigrant

    My parents started out working for minimum wage in California when they first arrived. My mother recalls a night out as walking to the nearest 7-11 and buying a hot dog to eat with my father and I because that is all we could afford. I grew up witnessing my mother calculate and debate on every dollar we spent at the store. Being raised in this type of monetary environment has shown me how to value what little I have. My father working day and night all week long has taught me that I have to work for what I want, and it is why I put my all into my education. Although my parents have not always been able to provide everything I needed, it provided me with ambition, determination, and a work ethic that cannot be found…
