I have a son. I am 25 years old. I am in the military. My favorite color is blue.
I am a girl and have daughters. I have a relative from the middle east.
I started my geneology of family history to see if any of my ancestors were in the military. Did you find out if many of them were in the military? My grandfather served in the army when he was younger. So far, I learned that my great-great grandfather was in WWI. He was stationed on the Western Front.  I can't believe what those guys went through.  I'm sure he suffered from shell-shock. They didn't call it post-traumatic stress disorder back then. Yes it was very tragic time and I don't think the soldiers deserved to deal with that. I still find it very interesting to study old history like WWI, that's why I study History at college. Where do you go to college?  Are you a history major?  Interested in teaching history?  My son is only two, but I want to learn family history so I can pass it along to him and let him know where he came from.   Yes I'm a history major at UCLA, I want to do my own research then go on to teach so I can pass my knowledge onto others. What is your son called? I think that would be a good bonding activity to do with him. His name is Austin, cutest little boy you've ever seen!  Sadly, his father isn't in the picture.  That's one reason I joined the military.  I never had the opportunity to go to college and the military provides the benefits I need for myself and my son and I'm able to take college courses as well.  I hope to be well on my way to a degree by the time I get out of the army.  I'm planning to enter the medical field, perhaps nursing or respiratory therapy. That's a really nice name. I'm very sorry for your loss but I'm sure you are still an amazing parent to him. How long have you served in the military for and what attracted you towards the medical field? Thank, I named him after my father's home town, Austin, Texas. I'm doing my best as a single parent, but there are times I feel like it's not enough.  I joined the military as soon as I could after Austin was born two years ago. I'm interested in the medical field because there's such a large demand for workers in the field that a good job is practically guaranteed.  I also would love the feeling of satisfaction that comes with helping people feel better.  That shows that you must be a very caring person! Helping others would definitely be a very rewarding job. One of my daughters is interested in going down a medical career path. She has big aspirations to become a neurosurgeon ever since she was young. She works very well in school and it makes me very proud. That's awesome that your daughter wants to become a neurosurgeon!  You said 'one of your daughters.' How many children do you have?   I have 3 daughters, they can be quite crazy sometimes, I've been told they all look exactly like me when I was their age. They're called Casey, Emma and Sabine
