SGT Morales Forecast
Edit the below SGT Morales Forecast paper/document.
Sir,
In the next 12 months, I hope to be Cristina Morales or at least SGT Morales in SFLTAPS. In the next two years, I hope to have completed my degree in Mathematics while still competing in MMA/Wrestling. In the next six years, I hope to continue my education and fighting career while teaching high school students. But, regardless of how long it may take, and more importantly, I hope to be part of the true version of myself. I know I will never be who I was before I joined, but I would like part of my old self back.
This goes way beyond the original topic, but as you mentioned before, I am timid, and this is the only way I feel I can really express the way I have been. I joined the military at 17 (I literally just turned 17 at the time) because I felt I had to give back. I felt I had to give back to my parents. They sacrificed EVERYTHING for me and my sisters. During that time, I really felt as if I had no other choice; my sisters were more afraid than I was—or so it seemed—so I had no choice but to do it. The recruiters came to our house just so my mother could sign. She was so against the military, even if it was for her. Ill never get over how much she cried.
I am very grateful for the Army, it has given me a lot, but also taken so much away from me. I was only 17. I’m not saying this only happens in the Army, or that it would have only happened in the army, it just happened that I was in the Army when it happened. I don’t regret much, but I do regret sacrificing my teen (basically kid) years for my parents. I wish I could have made them proud, but what parent is proud of their kid that calls every week crying? I never thought it would get to this point, but after that day, I have never been proud to put this uniform on. I regret my time in the military and believe that my sacrifices weren’t actually worth anything. I am tired of feeling trapped because of this environment; I am ready to let go; I am ready to be free. I will never be the same, but I am hoping for path of recovery that will lead me there, even if it’s not 100%.
In the end, I’ll always be grateful that I got to meet leadership who actually cared about me, so thank you. Thank you for being so patient and understanding.
