Military Academy
Iam sitting on my bed drawing a sketch of an eagle. Birds have always inspired me. They are always roaming free all over the sky. They don't care about their future and live in the present. That's what I think humanity has lost. They are always worrying about what might happen tomorrow but they don't live in the present. It is well-said quote
"Yesterday was history, tomorrow
Is mystery while today is a gift."
I hear the door-bell ringing faintly. My family is quite rich I would say. My dad is a manager at an international oil company. We have a pretty normal house. With 6 bedrooms each attached with a fair sized washroom. My room is in the corner of the house. I have three brothers. All are older than me.
I get out of the bed and start running towards the gate to pick up the mail.
Its been 3 full weeks and I still haven't received my selection letter from the USA military academy. Most girls nowadays want to be a fashion designer, maybe a doctor or an engineer, but I want to join the army and enjoy the fame just like my father did before he retired. I
I pick up the mail. There are three letters in total. I pick them all up and go inside to the living room. Okay lets se what we have got here... The first letter is for my older brother, probably someone begging him to accept their contract. The second for my dad, don't know what this letter says. The third letter is for... Oh My God. Shit! It is from the military academy. Ok Tris calm down. Take deep breaths. Holy shit!...
"Mom, mom", I cried. "Where are you?"
"In the kitchen", my Mom screamed.
I quickly run towards the kitchen.
"Mom, the letter is here", I said.
"What does it says", my mom said. I can see the excitement in her eyes.
"Don't know. I haven't opened it yet", I said.
"Then open it. What are you waiting for, honey", My mom exclaimed.
"Okay!", I said. I want to open the letter and see what it says, but I don't think I will be able to accept rejection.
"Here, you open it", I tell my mom. My mom takes the letter from me and gently opens its cover.
"Okay. Lets see what it says", Mom tells me. My mom takes the letter out of the envelope. I see my moms expression changing from excitement to sadness. Oh no. No this can't happen. I tried very hard. This isn't fair. I cant believe I...
Suddenly my mom hugs me out of nowhere.
"You got selected at the military academy", my mom exclaimed.
"What! You serious. Not shit. Oh my god. This is so exciting". I hug my mom back. Military academy Iam coming...
