Reversals :: essays papers

ReversalsY verbotenh is wasted on the young. And if I only knew then what Iknow now In my teenager years I couldnt be bothered with trying tounderstand those cryptic phrases didnt I already know everything Ineeded to know? I never dreamed that the decisions I made in myrelatively y outhful years would mother such an impact on my future. Ialways felt that I would never look back upon my life and say I wish Ihad taken more time in considering my choices. But I have found myselfdoing only that. If I were able to rewrite history, I would pick adifferent career when I reenlisted in the Army, I would seek outopportunities to enhance my future job options, and finally, I wouldhave done better while in high school.To begin with, its understandable that I wouldnt know what I wasgetting into when I first enlisted into the Army. But when the timecame for me to reenlist, I knew to research my options better than whatI really did. Instead of choosing a new career in the Medic Corps l ikeI knew I should, I elected to keep the same job. Given a secondchance, I would choose to be anX-ray Specialist. After I graduated my class, I would take the FloridaState certification exam so I could become licensed to work in Floridaby the time I completed my second enlistment, I would have developedvery marketable job experience.Secondly, I would have gone to college more while I was in theservice. As Ive just begun the long walk toward my goal of a BachelorsDegree in Criminal Justice, I cant help exclusively kick myself for notstarting sooner. The military pays for seventy-five percent of acollege course after paying my tuition last term, I realized just whata great deal that really was. I also would have taken all the medicalcorrespondence courses that the Army offers. While the courses arentof much pragmatical use, the points earned for the completion of eachcourse helps greatly when trying to get promoted to Sargent. Instead ofjust coasting, waiting for opportuni ty to come knocking, I would go outand tackle that elusive rascal by the ankles.Finally, if I could do it again, I would do better in high school.As a teenager, I was commonplace of school I felt I already knew everything Ineeded to know to carry with my life.
