My cousin's experience

People have many different beliefs when it comes to the military. My Cousin Crystal, is all for it, she was in the Alabama Army National Guard. Crystal went through basic training and had fun doing it! It sounds crazy but, she says that she loved it! She went to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri for her basic training. Crystal tells everyone that it was extremely hot there, at eleven o'clock in the morning it would be 106 degrees. Her drill sergeants would make Crystal and all of the other soldiers to unzip their jackets. In Missouri, they had to check their boots for spiders and they had to watch for snakes and wild boars. In basic training they were woke up at four. Every morning they did P.T. (physical training). They did P.T. at 4:30 in the morning. After P.T. they’d march or run (what ever the drill sergeants decided to do) to breakfast, where they had to eat as fast as they could while the drill sergeants stood over them. All they were allowed to drink was water or juice. They had the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day. Dinner was different every day but, Crystal said that it was never good. After dinner the soldiers went to bed and prepared to go through the same routine the following day.

Inca's belief

The Incas civilization believe that the earth's civilization was created by the children of the sun. The myth tells how the sun sends his son and daughter to Earth to civilize the habitants. The children find a point on Earth where the sun's rod will sink into the ground. From there the children are to remain in the place the rod fits. The myth goes on to describe how in that vally the civilization of the Incas start. The daughter walk south to find more habitants of Earth and turn them into civilize people. And so did the son to the north. The people of Earth saw how the king (son) of the north and the queen (daughter) of the south dress and spoke. With the people being so intrigued with these differences they being to follow the king and queen. From there the queen taught the women how to grow food, make cloths, and make shoes. The king taught the men how to build houses, make hoes, and make bows, arrows, lances, and bludgeons. I decide to write on this topic because I love to write and read about myths. My favorite myths are the greek and the roman myths.

Weekend Plans

On Friday I am going to the movies to see either Untraceable or Meet the Spartans. Later that night I am going to my cousin's house to hangout. Saturday morning I will wake up around 7am to take a shower and get ready for the day. I have to work at Old Navy from 8 in the morning till 5 in the evening. After work I will probably go out with some friends until later on in the night. Around 10 or 11 I will arrive home to settle in for the night. Sunday morning I plan to wake-up around 8 or 9 and do my morning routine to get ready for the day. On Sundays my family and my aunt's family goes bowling from 11 to 1 in the afternoon. After bowling my family and my aunts and uncles' families go to play handball at the tennis courts if it is not to cold outside. The handball games are usually from 1:30 till 7 at night. After the games I go home cold and sore. When I get home I sit down and watch t.v. On Sundays there are new episodes of Family Guy, American Dad, and The Simpsons. After those shows I finish up some homework and then I go to bed.

Foreign Language

My plans with my foreign language degree are to be an interpretive for the CIA and travel to countries. I want to go to the military after I graduate from the University of Memphis. While in the military I plan to further my language studies. I also plan to start on my education to becoming a criminal justice lawyer. After finishing my three years in the military, I plan to go to Georgetown University. There I am going to get my master degree in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese. After law school and receiving my master degree in foreign languages, I plan to travel to a few countries. The first country I want to visit is China. I want to live there for a couple of years to study the culture and beliefs. The second country is Japan to further my study of different cultures. The last country to visit is Chile. I want to go there just to relax and enjoy the scenery. After my traveling is over I will come back to the United States to open a law firm, and start my business of being a criminal justice lawyer. This is all just planning nothing is wrote in stone.
