1 Over the past year, many of us have experienced changes either through loss or through gains. In both ways, you will find, that life goes on and that we are stronger in either our beliefs, or, our character. Many of us feel that life is a box of chocolates. Yes, it is exactly! For every bite of life has it s own taste, it s own flavor, and it s own texture. What you do with all of your findings is totally up to you. In other words, if something doesn t taste the way you thought it would and yet gives you a new insight, continue to check it out and see what the outcome will be. If it doesn t taste right at all and causes you discomfort, move to the next place in the box, as it may be the total opposite and the best! Life provides this ability to move on and experience new tastes, flavors, and textures so that you can become the person you want to be. There are times we think that we cannot move away from the bad place in the box because of circumstances beyond our control. Everything is controllable; it s what you make of it and how you go about change. The statement be all you can be pertains to all of us not just if you join a certain branch of the military. Why am I writing this story.well, it is to hopefully help encourage you to keep on keeping on no matter what! If not only to prove to yourself that you are a strong individual...but, that looking at where you have been can help take you where you want to go. Always move forward! Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Thomas A. Edison Have a successful year...ms. Smith
