It was the early phase of World war II and I was recruited as a Junior Pilot Officer‚ one below a Corporal‚ in the Royal Air force of the British Imperial Army. The runway was just a little strip of flat land surrounded with wild grass and flowers blossoming blue and yellow and red in their millions around me bordered by brown craggy mountains with a sea at a distance.

Ironically‚ my experience with food insecurity came after the civil war‚ mainly because those who supported me were dead.

In the first two weeks of my internship‚ I was able to develop a sense of diligence in every work assignment given to me. Adding extra care means being always attentive to the present situation‚ keeping the mind focused with what is currently handled‚ getting particular with every single detail without missing anything.
