I said, “it doesn’t hurt.” Russell says, “Dude I can see it in your eyes, it hurts.” He says this multiple of times, around 2 or 3 times, he kept saying that, and I didn’t want to blurt out, in a angry tone of mannered voice, so I kept it to myself. After that I started eating my breakfast again, and I used to have a shape of an ice cube impacted on my skin, for around 2 months, then it went away. But besides that when we were done with breakfast, we went to the gym, and I started playing some volleyball, with some of my friends, and some of the other campers, and to be honest, I normally am bad at volleyball, but I was surprisingly really good at that game.

To be honest even after all the pain I had gotten from this trip, I still loved the winter camp, it made me feel at home, but a tad boring, and a tad fun, a perfect mix to make it a considerably, “Relaxing”, trip. But besides that, I layed in my bed of boredom, for around 5-10 minutes, and then thought to myself, this is boring, I should go to the church, and I wonder if it’s already started. So I get my undershirt, grab my underpants, and equip my flashlight. I could see the church lights, in the distance of the blizzard, a beacon, of refuge, a light of sociality. As I got closer with every step in the deep cold snow, I Struggled, to keep my strained leg moving in the deep, thick, and cold snow. I Struggled to keep my body temperature warm, as I felt the cold breeze of the blizzard, on my cold body. I Struggled to keep my mind sane, from the coldness of the blizzard, and my determination, to make it to the church. When I made it to the church, I peeked the door, and saw that the church was already in session, so I waited for a while, and waited until it was the right time, and then I opened the door, hoping no one noticed me coming in, but they kind of did, and they kind of didn’t notice me come in. So when I went in the church, I asked my group where I should sit, and they told me to sit right next to the teacher, and listen to the church, and preaching, of the church counselor. So I did what they said, patiently, and diligently. Soon they had a song, that we needed to sing, and to be honest my voice was getting really deeper for some reason, probably since I’m growing, so I could barely hit the high notes, and when I even hit the high notes, it sounded like a mouse

    was injured in November 2007 in Kandahar, Afghanistan. I was commanding the vanguard of a combat team leaving a patrol base to conduct a night operation in the Zharay district. Shortly after our departure and ‘shake-out’ into formation, my command vehicle was hit by a Command-Wired IED that defeated the armour and safety systems aboard our Light Armoured Vehicles.

    “Finally” Persisting through pain is a strenuous task requiring grit, which mandates perseverance, passion and determination. To begin with, a few months ago the accelerator pedal on my father’s 2001 Chevrolet Blazer broke while we were roughly two miles away from our home. Regrettably, my father had forgotten his phone, and mine was obsolete due to his negligence to pay the cell phone bill. Thus, we were forced to make the two-mile expedition from the west side of town to our home on the east side. It was the middle of summer, and the oppressive heat of the sun was beating down on me.…

    The first thing that comes to my mind about this clinical experience was that it flew by. Some of my days at SCCF seem to inch by at a snail’s pace, while some like today go by before you can even blink. I appreciated the days that go by fast.
