I have just started here at Iowa State, and there are some things I know I need to do for sure. I think for all students campaniling is a priority, simply because it’s easy to accomplish, “nuff said.” I haven’t quite decided what else I need to do, I’m in ROTC so that entitles me to some obligations during football games security wise, but before I graduate I’m going to paint myself red and yellow and be right there at the edge of the stands screaming my lungs out. I want to be in charge of an organization or something, I actually plan on starting my own, most people know already that I do some Civil War reenacting on the side, so I figured I would start a unit of college kids and train them up and do some living history events, maybe even do something on campus for a historically significant event, like the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
After graduating I will receive a commission in the United States Army as a 2nd Lieutenant, I hope to serve in an Armored Division and command tanks until my commitment is up in 4 years and I will hopefully retire a Captain. I want to be a member of the 1st Cavalry Division, or the 3rd Armored, whichever is cool with me, I don’t really care. I may decide to stay back here at home and be in the National Guard, and then I would hopefully be a part of the 113th Cavalry.
When I retire from the military I want to either move to Missouri or Georgia and start my own peach orchard. I love peaches which is why I’d like to do that, and because I’m from a farm I would like to live on one when I’m finished with everything I’m doing now, schooling, and the Army and such.
I plan on farming until I die, no retirement or anything, do what my Grandpa is doing, farming until he can’t anymore. My main goal in life is that when they put me in the ground I want people to say that I was a good person, and I helped everyone that I could, and I made a difference in somebody’s lfie in some way shape or form.

ReplyDeleteOMG!!! That would be so cool to live on a peach farm!! You made me think of my best friend who tries to grow trees from the seeds she finds in different fruits! lol I know when you reach all of your army goals you will be so proud of your accomplishments, and your family and friends will be so honored to know you! Good for you for keeping farming a part of your life. Agriculture is such an important aspect of this growing world.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am an Air Force brat so I am well aware of the sacrifice those in the military go through. It is an honor to be around people like you. The idea of starting a reenacting club on campus is such a great idea and having a peach orchard? So sweet! (no pun intended) I'm so glad you have such high expectations and unique goals for yourself!
