Blessings From the Father (2012)
“She was curled up on the couch in her living room with a cup of hot chocolate on the coffee table. Her eyes were glued to the next entry.
I finished high school today. Most of the kids had parents to cheer them on as they walked across the stage. All I had was the director of the orphanage and Reverend Smith to attend my graduation. I guess that was better than nobody. My guidance counselor, Mr. Price, tried to talk me into going to college. He said I have a natural aptitude for learning and me...chanics. I even applied to a few schools and was accepted. But more schooling isn’t in the cards for me. I have a hankering in my soul to travel. I’ve had enough of the South. So I applied to the army and I report for basic training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in three days. Fresh out of high school to the military, there are worse things a man can do. They army provided me with a bus ticket, my stuff is packed, and I am ready to go. Most people think I’m crazy to enlist with the war going on in Vietnam.MoreLess
