Post 3: The life of Joseph

     Joseph was a young man, much like the normal person. Going through ever day never knowing what to do in life. He wanted to be something bigger and become someone worthy of life. He went to the military for these answers. He spent many years bettering himself, becoming a more productive human, and honing the skills he thought would be necessary for his life. He made his new life here, willing to fight and wanting to grow. 

    This was taken to a short life when an accident happened, causing him to have to leave all that he knew and loved. Over the coming years his life became harder and harder. He began to fall down the darkest hole. His life went from being full of meaning and peaceful to being useless and disheartening. This is where he hit the bottom.

    Through all turmoil and grief that followed the accident, he fought with many demons and blamed himself for his life to be what felt like at its ends. He could never get the courage to let go of the last strain of hope that he had, no matter how bad life had become. Hitting rock bottom caused him to fight and claw his way back up through all of the challenges night and day.

    This was done through hard work and drive. He started on his physical health nothing could be accomplished if he could not get up and do the work anymore. This was restored through blood, sweat and tears. Then came the need to repair the mental health, this was accomplished through learning, no keeping an idle mind and rebuilding the relationships that would carry him to the end.

    This was eventually done and now he is on the last block to revival, with a new career a new life and a new mind. It was a hard road but its some place that he will never again have to journey too no matter how hard the roads ahead are. It is time for his true story to begin, stronger than ever. 

    I chose to do this in a traditional style, I did this because to me it makes the most sense and is the easiest way to tell my story. It was a long road with many cause and effects that lined up perfectly with the traditional plot. There is a quote I want to share as well that helped me get back up after the beating life gave me. All of these events have brought the importance of mental and physical health to their true meaning for me. It might just be something someone in this class needs to see too "Whenever you get kicked and your down on the ground cause life kicked you in the stomach and kicked you while you were down it will kick you even harder and harder and make you feel like you cant stand back up. Me being the person I am I have been knocked down, I have been kicked when I was down, I have tried standing back up and got kicked again back down to the ground, and at some point you just gotta get sick and tired of getting kicked."

    I truly enjoyed reading your story. The military is great at building character and and making people stronger, whether it is physical or mental. The accident you endured seemed like it left a tremendous amount of pain in your life. I also like the traditional style because it easier to understand the story line. Your story will inspire everyone who reads or hear about it! The blessing is that you did not let the accident keep you down forever. Just like the rose that grew from concrete, you have tenacity. Your new career, new life, and new mind will blossom even better than before.

    I enjoyed reading your story. I feel like you have a lot to tell, so maybe you should write a book. This was a very encouraging post, because it shows that life sucks, yet we can fight through it and come out the other end stronger.

      Thank you Nicole. It is something I have thought about before, either that or doing motivational speaking to help others that were once where I was. It is a battle that is still fought to this day, but I have found ways to never let it get that bad again.

      I am glad that you were able to connect with what I have been through in life. That is how we get through is knowing that there are others out there fighting the same battles.

    Yes I absolutely agree with working on yourself physically before mentally, like I'm literally doing that right now.

Post 14: Joseph

 "A Doll's House" was set in 1879, In the 1800's women were not treated the best. They really had no rights and were considered only to be home makers. They did not work unless it was on the farm with the spouse, and were expected to do what they were told with no complaints. compared to modern day women that is the complete opposite. Women now have the same freedoms and liberties as a man does. They are no longer "property" and should be treated as such. Women can now vote, own weapons, work jobs, and so much more. They are not defined by their husbands or fathers like they were in the late 1800's

Post 10: The Lone Wolf

 "They say the wolf on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill. Always be that wolf climbing the hill. It does not matter if you have to walk alone for a while, it is much better to walk alone in the right direction, than to follow the heard going in the wrong direction." (Fearless Motivation 2017) The lone wolf is the leader, the strong, the protector of the heard. They are what holds them all together but they go through the biggest challenges and the biggest right. This is the image in my life, is the lone wolf. They may have the worst struggles, but it is because they are the only ones strong enough to handle them. While the wolf is still dangerous alone they know together they can stop anything. This is something I have always aligned myself with definitely in the military. To me the wolf is an image of struggle, strength, perseverance, and sear will to overcome. I will also link the speech that was quoted in there too, it is a great thing to listen to ...

      Sunday night came way to fast again. Adam got ready to leave his family again in search of a better future for them. It is a long drive to the Middle Georgia campus, but it is the road leading to Adam's dreams. He drives through the night to get to class an hour before it starts and walks up the stairs to the class room. Professor Allan comes in and gives the days lecture to the class. After class Adam walks back to his car and starts the long road back to his children. It is a task that becomes more overwhelming with time, but he keeps the thought of what the rewards will be in such a short time. This is what keeps him going through this every week.
