Question Wednesday

Today I steal a friends question am answer theme. I guess I need to advertise more I have this one to answer yes its late but today is still a day till I go to sleep... So HA!

What is your favourite book or series? -- Chelsea

Well my favorite book would have to be two books. They are Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell and When a Bullet Hits Your Funny Bone by Billy Allmon. They are very moving and humorous. Marcus' book is a true story about a SEAL operation that he was on and how he became the only one to come out alive. Billy's book is more humorous but keeps the seriousness of the life of an United States Navy SEAL.

What I like about Marcus' book is that people put their lives on the line not for their personal gains but for the person next to them for people they never met and more for the country. I want to be more like that. I don't feel as if I'm on this earth to be all about me. I want to give back to the community and the country. That is part of the complex reasoning I want to become a doctor. I feel I can give back and help many others by becoming one. In Billy's book its the same thing.

Only in Billy's book I took from it that life is short and I need to get moving no matter what is thrown up in my way. It gave me the motivation to keep up what I am doing. To forge ahead on spite of what the VA tells me. It'll be tough but I'll be tougher, I'll warrior on to get where I want to be.

I tend to read fictional/real war stories those, however, are not really series or fantasy reading. For that I like the Harry Potter books. That is fun stuff to read! I picked up Sorcerer's Stone in like the ninth grade. Yeah a little late but at least I picked it up. Before that I hadn't read anything that I wasn't required to read. I guess it brought to my attention that hey reading is fun! Yeah it did that for me. Who, other than the very few, like reading required material for school? I didn't... That series of books passed many hours in a fantastic land of infinite possibilities. So from there I read many books.

Now next month will be filled with textbooks! Yay! But I kinda like whats coming up for classes. So I should be good! Well that is all for me tonight. Have a good night.
