During my stint with NS, I have came up with the following
important values:
Be true to yourself
Give Thanks
Never accept gifts from strangers
Keep your house tidy
Get to know everyone
Set a goal for everything that you do.
Since then, I try my best to keep them
active in everything that I do. What I need now is praise, lots of
praise, the type of roar and loudness when we went for route march,
sorry fellas, missed you guys, you probably wont be reading this,
wasnt my name roared among the platoon?
How much anger I have felt, how much feelings that I must shoulder
every now and then, so much noise, so much anxiety, so much
excitement. I have been shouted at, laughed at, being spoke
vulgarities at. I have spoke profanities, did things out of anger
and frustration and in the end all I can say that life is
exciting?
I am already a company marksman(or so my company mates like to
label me), the attention given to me by that is enough to keep me
alone, reminding me of that roar of attention that I think I would
not try to have again for the next few years, at the sametime
vulnerable and strong. Friends come and go, I didnt regret that my
Father said that I should mix around with friends. I think we all
will gradually have more friends, friends is made up of
involvement, and once married, you are forever in involvement, I
just cant join any cliques of friends enjoying their laughter and
tears because I have already gone through them, I already BEEN
THERE, as I get older, the people who depends on me most are my
parents.
I dont regret for not joining in sharing any more fun and
laughter.
I am a 21 YEAR OLD VETERAN.
