1. First Book I Read
- The first book I read was by Dr. Seuss. It was called The Foot Book. I remember reading it, word by word without any help from my parents.
- This was a important moment in my life because it first showed me that I didn't need my parents to help with small things, like reading a book. While I didn't necessarily understand it at the time, but I later realized that I would have to do everything on my own, without my parents there to help me.
2. High School Graduation
- At my high school graduation I was one of nearly 400 people graduating that day. It took forever, but at least I was one of the early ones to graduate.
- During the hours that I was sitting there waiting for the ceremony to end, I was able to think about how this was my last summer living my life the way I was accustomed to living it. It was going to radically change my everyday schedule, even more then going back to school at high school in the Fall.
3. First Vince Flynn Book That I Read
- I didn't always know that I was going to serve in the military after high school. It had crossed my mind when my sister got into ROTC, I thought about doing the same, but soon brushed it off thinking it wasn't the right path.
- I later began reading one of my favorite authors, Vince Flynn, a couple years ago. His books are mainly about counter terrorism operations. When I read these books, I really thought about serving in the military. I ended up doing what my sister did, which is joining ROTC and get free college.
These are all great moments, Michael. I actually remember being obsessed with The Foot Book as a child, myself. I am going to wait until I see your proposal to comment extensively on your topic selection, but this is a good post! You are always very timely about posting, and I do appreciate that!
