Whats The Hardest Thing You`ve Done

Recommended Posts

^I volunteered to give a presentation in a history class. I was the only one in class to do so. I explained about aviation in WWII. It took over 1 hour. No problem if you understand the subject, even if you aren't very social.

Hardest thing... I missed the bus. I was 27 miles from home, and had my bike. So I biked home. I started at 7, got home at 10:30pm. It was dark the whole time. Kinda cold, but that's fine, because you aren't cold if you exercise. Went on an old historic highway that no one uses, but is well maintained. I only saw 1 car. By the time I got home, my parents had had the fright of their lives. They called 911, and reported me missing... lol.

(BTW, from The Dalles, OR campus to Hood River)

Getting out of bed everyday is hard when I have no motivation to-

 

Wait, saorryy, I am not trying to quote Sayori, but the hardest thing I can remember from this year was biking in the snow, it usually never snows a lot in the city that I live, and nearly everyone bikes here in the Netherlands (including me), and I had to get back home even though the snow was quite deep, I was biking 3x slower than usual because I was being super cautious (due to the fear of what happened back in 2013, where I biked carelessly fast on a winter day, made a harsh turn, and lost one of my 9 cat lives).

My Mom thought I was going to college in the Fall, since I already had the college picked out and knew what I wanted to major in. But because I was an introvert (mind you, I said 'was') I lacked a lot of social skills and was dreading college. Nearly my entire Senior Year of High School, she kept after me to pick out a college. She made it sound as if it was an obligation I had to fill since both parents graduated from college and my sibling was already in college. 

 

My Dad sensed I was hesitant and uneasy with the decision. Without my Mom's knowledge, he started encouraging me to join the military. He suggested that I could either take some college courses while in the military to get a head start or I could wait until I got out. He told me that his parents pushed him into college when he didn't feel as though he was ready and had a hard time adjusting. However, ultimately, the decision was mine to make. 

 

One day, that Summer, my Mom sent me into the city to run some errands. One of the places I had to go took me past the Recruiting Station. I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least talk to a Recruiter. So, I pack all my fears into my back pocket and went in. I talked to the Recruiters of all the different branches. I made my decision.....I signed the papers. 

 

I knew my Dad would be okay with it, but I didn't know how my Mom would take it. Facing my Mom was harder than facing the Recruiters. At supper that night, I made the announcement. Surprisingly, my Mom said that it was probably the best decision I had ever made. 

 

She was right. I'm out of the military, now and it was the best decision I ever made. I learned to be an extrovert and found a new direction to work towards as a lifelong career.
