HOW i became an officer
when i was an elementary school ,i noticed the parade on TV and was fascinated by the uniform which army officers wear.ALL of a sudden,i made up my mind to become one of them.then i asked my dad if i could join the army .he merely nodded his head and seriously asked me:"Are you kidding me ,son?" it's definitely not funny in the military ,so please look before you leap.However,in my opinion ,you'll never know it ,if you don't give it a shot .Eight years later my came ture.
When i was 17 years old,i stepped into the gate of a military academy.During the three months military training ,the life was so much tough than high school .three were so many regulations to follow and freedom no longer belonged to me .as a freshman here,everyone was always taught to be disciplined and obey many kinds of orders that your upperclassmen gave you.their purpose was to break your self-esteem and rebuild it again .i worked out almost every day and our upperclassmen would lead us to do all kind of physical training.we usually sweated a lot and got exhausted .still,i will never forget one of my upperclassmen had encouraged us."physical training provides you with lots of benefits .you will get into good shape and develop a strong body .it would be better if you make it a daily routine,you will lead a much healthier life." at last ,doing exercise becomes an important of my life.
My military school life was not cozy .more than once ,i intended to back off and choose to study at a normal university .however,i encouraged myself by saying,"every challenge is merely a part in the process of becoming a military officer .and the process is all about learning,learning to be modest ,learning to be independent,and learning to be a real man .where there is a will,there is a way",i believe that nothing can baet me as long as i have a goal .i always wanted to become a military officer and dress in their uniform ,but at the same time,the uniform comes with a responsibility ; a responsibilty to enrich myself and protect the country.
