Day 8

Becoming is a soldier is being able to endure lots of pain and suffering. Becoming a soldier is being ready to fight a war at any time. Becoming a soldier is being able to handle death at a huge scale. Becoming a soldier is to be ready for anything to happen at any time. Becoming a soldier is dealing with many losses, such as family and friends. Becoming a soldier is learning what's right to do in battle, or die. I learned from this experience to lose a friend right in front of my eyes. I couldn't stand to see him shot right in front of my face. I learned the brutality of joining the army, and I learned the fatal tactics the revolutionaries use to "cheat" in war. I learned how to shoot a gun, and finally, I learned to adapt and become stronger as I needed.
