On October 26, 2015, my brother left home to go become a Marine; while he was leaving I was in Social Studies taking a test. It was Monday, everyone was tired and I just wanted the day to get over with. I was in Social Studies taking a test going over the Revolutionary War. I was finishing the test and in my brain I thought I have this; then I hear on the announcements, “Felicia Jansen please come down to the office. Felicia Jansen please come down to the office.”
At first, I thought my mom just forgot I had some type of appointment, no big deal. The Secretary Lady tells me that my grandmother is picking me up. I ask why but she just looks away with concern. When my grandma trudged into the office, her eyes are puffy and she looks concerned. …show more content…
There was always food in the house and I could always take a shower when I woke up and didn’t have to wait for him. My mom of course made me write him a letter once a week; those got annoying. He would send letters back only once and awhile and when he did he always just said, “Love ya Felicia.” After a few more months I started missing him. I wished that I wouldn’t get blamed every time I don’t do the dishes or forget to do the laundry. It was worse at school; none of my friends really asked how I was doing and when they did you could tell they really didn’t care. I had no one and I thought ‘what will I do if he never comes back?’ but I never try to think the …show more content…
It was a pretty good flight. I sat next to my mom and slept the whole time. When we got to the hotel I couldn’t wait. I just wanted to see him right away. My mom made plans for the whole week to keep us busy. We went on boats and went in museums. My favorite day was when we got to shop all day and go to the beach. The day before he graduated we got to go down and see him. It was family day and we got to see where the PT(Physical Training) were staying. We went early in the morning so we could see him do the morning duties. They did their chants and marched. It gave me chills watching him do it and seeing all these men do what they do everyday. When I first saw him I didn’t recognize him. He looked older with his high and tight haircut and he was built; he used to be a stick. It was funny talking to him because he spoke abnormally.. He used so many different terms; I told him he would have to write each one down and describe it to me. I wish I never had to say goodbye. I would’ve done anything for him to stay. He was my best friend. Somebody I could trust. January 21, 2016, was when I had to see my best friend graduate and officially become a Marine. I will never forget that day. Eddie is my role model, he is my hero, and he is my
