I wanted to become a soldier for a long time. I did well in high school and did R.O.T.C. as well. I talked to a recruiter and they guided me through the process of enlistment! Then, I got to attend Basic Combat Training (BCT) and learn the ins and outs of being a soldier. After Basic, I entered Advanced Individual Training (AIT), where I learned how to perform my job in the Army!! I felt so proud of what I was doing but mainly I did it so I could protect my country. I want my American brothers and sisters to stay safe and stay proud of our fight to protect them. That is why I do what I do. That is why I am an American soldier.
