Feeling Down

0

My sister is getting off of deployment on May the 28th, I was totally fine with going to see her, but the amount of school days that have been missed due to snow say otherwise.

Our school was originally going to dismiss us on the 28th but now we’re bein let out on May 29th. It’s not bad, we’re lucky we’re not being let out on June 6th like the board originally planned. My problem with this is that graduation is the 29th and I have to meet her in Hawii on the 28th. I already made my decision which was to see my sister but I wanted walk with my peers and possibly see the person that I like one last time before I leave. I know that sounds ridiculous about the boy thing. But now I realize that he never took the time to know me. Not only that but I wasn’t treated very well by my peers along with my friends. Honestly I would rather see my sister than walk on graduation. It sounds cruel but personally, I think it’s for the best.

Not only that but I also have another major choice. My mother says that I have a choice to live with my sister for a year in Seattle, but she says that if I go to live with her then I can’t enlist in the military

Both my mom and my dad don’t support me going into the Military. My mom doesn’t because of what happened to my sister and my dad doesn’t support me becasue he doesn’t think I can do it. He was talking to me about how I won’t be able to handle waking up at five or six in the morning, every morning to go run five miles.

I just, I don’t know, I guess I needed to rant, forgive me for being annoying.

First and foremost, you are not being annoying. Dear child, (I am 51 so give me this lol) you have your whole life ahead of you. Once you are out of your parents house and at your sister's maybe she can shed some light on the whole military thing. I think it is admirable that you want to serve your country. With that said, the military is not for everyone. You don't indicate if your dad was ever in the service, but if he was I think recent experience trumps his experience. Talk with your sister. Take her into your confidence. She can help you go through the pros and cons of military service. BTW, once you have reached 18 and are out of your parents house they can't tell you whether or not you can make any decision. "If I go to my sister's than they said I can't go into the military." It is your decision, not theirs. I think that with the wisdom of your sister you will figure out a path that only has one set of footprints---YOURS.
