" A summer of fun", I said but little did I know I would have an injury that would ruin me for the rest of my life, and injury that would cause me to keep a cold heart forever. It was the summer of 2017 and I had six different trips I would be going on. It was going to be the busiest summer ever; Starting out with my favorite trip, a one-week trip that had three separate trips: Paris Island in North Carolina, Camp Blanding in North Carolina, and Universal Studios in Florida. I also went to D.C. for three days, mini boot camp for a week, and five weeks at SIU, Salem International University, for a summer session with Upward Bound.

Junior Wilderness Challenge, Boot Camp, Basic Leadership Training, and Hell are some of the names that people have called this mini boot camp.

My favorite part of boot camp was going home, after I got home I had to weed eat, and I was running on a couple hours of sleep.... in a week worth of sleep. At boot camp there were six schools, each with at least twenty to thirty cadets, then there was Lincoln with five
