Short story

There lived a family in a beautiful White House in the deep state of South Carolina.   They were a hard working family of farmers who have been working the crops since 1800s. The mother was a beautiful brown Curley haired woman named Ellen Keatting. She was married to a hard working man named Matthew Keatting. He was a farmer and was also in the United States Army. They had four kids and was expecting one more. Amelia was 12 years old, she was the oldest. She resembled her mother so much. Theodore and Brian were twin brothers 8 years old both cheerful and full of hopes and dreams. Baby Hailey she was the youngest 2 years old and was the cutest baby that you could imagine. She had dark brown Curley hair, beautiful oak eyes that could break her fathers heart and made his world. They were expecting to have one more girl and planed to name her Marie. Ellen was excepted to have her fifth child in only a few weeks. 

The White House was a old style two story wrap around porch with Tall White columns wrapped around the porch. It had  7 rooms, 5 bathrooms, a beautiful open kitchen, a classic den as you walked in the front door on the left, a large dining room on the right. It sat on a 200 acre lot. 

The family was a happy, polite hard working family. They loved to work the land that was passed down for many generations. The father would take his two  boys on the tractor to plow the lands and walk them true the tall rows of corn and wheat. The boys loved to work with their father. Theodore had rough hands like his father and felt the crops as they would walk. He would say “ I can feel the soul of the earth thru our crops”. His father knew he would love the farm just like he does. Brian had softer hands like his mother. He would slowly watch for animals that lived in the crops and would love to feed them. He would say “ the animals that line here protect us and I will protect them”. His father believed he has his mothers love for animals and would be a great man to nurture the animals that live on this earth. 
As the men would walk the crops, Ellen would show her daughter Amelia how to prepare the food to support the family stomachs and to help with any thing that needed to be done. Amelia loved to play the piano and had a great ear for music and loved literature like her mother. Little baby Hailey would like to stare outside and say mommy I want to explore the world and had the eye for adventure. The kids were all bright and knew about loving each other well. 
The family would always go to the crops on Sunday after church and would walk to there favorite spot on the river to have a picnic. Amelia and her mother would prepare chicken salad, beans and rice with Sazon, adobo, and sofrito, with a y’all pitcher of Sweet tea. The kids would play in the river as Matthew and Ellen later in the blanket and watched them laugh and scream with joy. 

A quiet happy family in a small far off town in the heart of the south. True southerners who loved to care for the earth and cared about family more than anything.

Essay

My Experience at the Basic Leader Course

My first impression when I was coming to the Basic Leader Course (BLC) was
indifference; I thought it was going to be another school that the Army was
implementing for my Army preparation as a soldier. According to the Army, BLC is the
first leadership course noncommissioned officers (NCOs) attend. BLC is a month-long
course that teaches Specialists and Corporals the basic skills needed to lead small
groups of Soldiers. This course is hard-hitting and intensive with an emphasis on
leadership skills and prepares Soldiers to advance to the rank of Sergeant
(goarmy.com). BLC is a mandatory portion of the Army’s Select Train Educate
Promoted (STEP) Program that ensures that anyone that desires to be a
noncommissioned officer with a pathway to successfully become one. As a junior
enlisted Soldier, and future NCO, successfully passing BLC and taking the knowledge I
gained here is one of the major short-term goals of my Army Career.

Why is it important to attend the Basic Leader Course? After all, is it just a
simple school that is mandated by the Army? After attending BLC I realized I was
wrong about it, and that BLC is excellent training necessary to begin the initial
development of junior NCOs. The various dynamics that the instructors implement in
each class create a solid learning environment for the foundational skills of NCOs.
Each phase that I went through impacted me on both a personal and professional level,
which enabled me to understand the importance of the noncommissioned officer and
the responsibilities of the job. The two classes that had the largest impact on me were Master Resilience Training (MRT) and Followership and Servant Leadership
(Army.com)

.
Master Resilience Training (MRT) is a resilience-training program that is offered
by the United States Army. The goal of the program is to teach Soldiers about
resilience and to train those Soldiers to teach other Soldiers about resilience as well
(positivepsychology.com). In my two years of experience as an active-duty Soldier, the
MRT training I have received at BLC has been by far the most comprehensive. I didn’t
have to watch the old MRT videos or have to read a PowerPoint with 75 slides talking
about resilience. The instructor introduced an open and judgment-free environment and
started the class by opening up about himself and talking about his own experiences in
life. The class turned out to be encouraging and realistic; it was the kind of class that
made me open up about myself to others and discuss my personal struggles as a
Soldier. That encouragement enabled other individuals to speak up, in turn, and
allowed them to be more understanding and empathetic towards others.
Followership is the capacity or willingness to follow a leader (merriam-
webster.com).

This class was very instructive because it helped me to understand my
role as a future NCO and to better develop myself as a leader. The instructors made
the class very understandable and professional, allowing me to think critically about who
I am as a Soldier. Am I a follower, or I am a leader? Do I have the characteristics to be
a leader at all? After having time to analyze myself, I came to the conclusion that I had
to be a follower to learn from others first, before eventually becoming the leader I am
today. After taking some time to reflect, I arrived at the conclusion that I have to be a
good listener to learn from my subordinates and that would also help me become the leader I want to be. Yes, I do have the qualities to be a great leader. I must continue to
lead by example and learn from my experiences and mistakes to become an NCO I can
be proud of.

In conclusion, I would like to say that I’m very thankful for my experience here at
the Basic Leadership Course. I learned a lot from this course and I will use all the
knowledge I gained from my instructors and my experience here throughout my Army
career. My mentality is not the same as a junior enlisted Soldier anymore. I will be
graduating with the mindset of a noncommissioned officer, ready to lead, develop and
be more empathetic with my future soldiers. As a future noncommissioned officer: “I will
not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals,
noncommissioned officers, leaders!” (www.army.mil)

My last letter to you

Dear CJ.

Buenos días,

No vuelvas a escribirme, fui muy clara en mi último mensaje y deseo continuar con mi vida con total normalidad. No tengo que discutir ningún acuerdo contigo, fui muy clara en los últimos meses y no quiero seguir llenando un ilusión que no tiene ningún sentido. Deseo que respetes mi desicion y dejes de buscarme. No vuelvas a decir que puedes controlarme porque siempre se te ha sido muy difícil hacer eso y siempre he sido indomable para ti. 

Ya fue suficiente para ambos. 

Gracias, 

Con total seriedad 

S.

Dear S.

There are no words to describe the meaning you have to me or how much you impact my life. There's this angel I know very little about. But in time, I will truly get to know who this wonderful person is. Just by looking into her soul through her brown crystal clear eyes and contagious laugh did I truly see her for who she is. Now, all that it takes to make me happy is the thought of you because, your voice has become a soothing nurse to my being, your kiss shows the heavenly memories of what our best moments that are yet to come hold, and your touch writes words that leave evidence of unyielding love beyond comprehension. I will forever love you to my very last breath.

With love,

B.

Letter Tres

Today I woke up feeling happy and in love. Do you know why I woke up feeling this
way? because you were by my side, with your snoring, your drool in my neck and your breath
pinking my cheek. I woke up with a man who, although he seems like a complete idiot, is the
most wonderful man of my life, of course after my father. A man who is intelligent, funny,
funny, a man who irritates me and drives me crazy.

A man who is capable of everything and who has the confidence to do great things. A man who although totally clueless and disorganized
keeps me in love. I love you for who you are, for your good qualities and so bad ones. I see both,
even if you don't believe it.

You make me a better person; my temper has improved and my way of talking to you
too. Every day I feel that I can open to you and be more expressive. I love you even if you do not
understand why my feelings. You are important to me and I want you to know my love.

PS. I will miss you all day.

See you later,

With a lot Amore


S.

Letter 2

Dear T,

Today I woke up happy, because you were by my side. Waking up in your arms is the
best feeling in the world. I feel protected and safe. Thank you for taking care of me in my
dreams. Yesterday was a different and busy day. We had a misunderstanding and we could solve
it without any problem. I believe that this relationship has a future, if both work hard. I admit
that I feel insecure and comfortable with certain things, but I try to improve. Please, my love be
patient. I know that I am a difficult and complicated woman, but I want this more than anything.
I want to give you my love and my support.

PS. Sonnet 48

With all my love,

S.

Dear Bed

Dear,

Since I remember the bed is one of the most mysterious places where I have been.
It is where I have suffered, cried, groaned with pleasure and even come to touch the
stars. Our bed is special and is not like any bed I have slept on. I don't say it because of
its technological advances, or because it can cool or heat on its own. Nor is it because it
is an orthopedic bed. It is the bed that has seen us grow and improve as a couple. Our
bed has our sweat, tears and corporal fluids. I know its disgusting but in such a short
time we have left our mark on this bed, not only physical but also emotional.

The first time I saw our bed, I was not your girlfriend. I was a stranger to you, a
confused girl, too worried and afraid of you. Yes, the first time I saw our bed was scared
to the point I felt it in the core of my bones. I was afraid of the man in front of me. The
man who had hurt me for months, a man who at that time I believed unable to love me.
The creature that had been sent from hell to punish me for my sins. I was afraid to
succumb to your desires, your skin and your being but to my surprise, your intentions
were different. You just wanted to sleep with me in that expensive bed. The first seconds
in that bed were the longest in my life, I did not want to touch you or feel you by my
side, I tried to hide my fear and sadness but when I am with you it is very difficult to
hide my feelings.

After the seconds were eternal and the silence was uncomfortable for us, you took
me in your arms, you sheltered me in your warm chest. At that moment I understood
that you were not the same, I understood that you were a stranger to me and that you
were afraid of me, the situation and the bed. That I was not the only broken and
miserable person in the room.

I didn't understand why you feel guilt, why you felt that way but today I
understand. It took me a long time to understand why you was a terrible person towards
to me. I don't remember who was the first person to start crying, but we both did it. We
cry for the pain, the rage, the hate, the guilt and for the damn love we felt for each other.
I must admit that I try to hate you and stop loving you. I tried, I tried to replace you
every time you broke my heart. That night I understood that I could never stop loving
you even if I try all my life. I would still love you even if you broke me in a billion pieces.

I know this letter sounds sad and miserable, but it is my letter to you and so were
the events of that first time in our bed, my love.

It took me a little time to feel comfortable and sleep in your arms, but I did. To be
honest I slept like I had never slept in my life. In your arms I felt that I was returned to
home. I felt in complete peace. It was such a peace that I wanted to return to your arms,
every night after the first time I felt more nervous, I felt less pain and hate towards you.
I felt an imaginable desire for you, I wanted to feel you. I wanted to feel your body, your
heart and your soul. Feel you for the first time. Feel your lips on mine, feel your hands
on my hips and feel your penis inside me.
I wanted love from you, T.
You gave yourself to me in that bed. I felt you, I kissed you, I forgive you and I fell
more in love with you. You don't see Love ? After that night, I wanted to be by your
side forever.
After that night, we also forgot why that bed was important. There were occasions that I
felt alone and cold. I felt miserable again in our bed and I tried everything not to return
to our bed. I hated feeling lonely, cold and misunderstood.

We began to argue more, to tell each other horrible things and we stopped being that
couple that loved each other in that special bed. We stopped caring or showing love, and
I let my fear to control me and I left 2 times. You didn’t know how to bring me back to

you, your indifference pushed me to other path. After that time, without seeing each
other, I thought it was all over. I started feeling better and making plans. I started to
concentrate my energy and my time on other people, instead you couldn't let me go so
easily. You came back to me, this time you promised not to let me go, stay in my life
even if I didn't want to.

You accepted my whimsical and my demands without complaints or
inconvenience. You showed me more of you and you allowed me to see the true person
you are. A person who feels and suffers, a man who knows what he wants, a man willing
to fight for what he loves and desires. A man of convictions, principles and above all
with hidden abilities. Yes, you are a mystery to me. You are funny, incredible, intelligent,
bright and arrogant. You can be as cold as winter and warm as heat in a spring morning.
You are also afraid and insecure like me, and your imagination can let your jealousy fly.

After a few days we return to our bed, to that special and broken place. I no
longer remember how the discussion happened but without predicting it you asked me
to be yours. The way you asked me was the most surprising thing, the disappointment,
confusion and anger we felt for each other while we were lying in our bed. You
convinced me to return to your side, with a title, but not royalty. You accepted me as
your partner and you also accepted my way of being. After that 8th of November…

We have had our ups and downs, discussions and solutions. I have rarely gone to
sleep sad or miserable. Every morning I wake up with you by your side, I play with your
hair, kiss your face and your lips. I touch your back and try to count your thousands of
freckles. Sometimes we have made love, sex and war in this bed. We have fought and
shouted at each other. You hugged me while I cried, you brought me back to reality after
saving me from nightmares. We have told secrets and truths. We have played and
experimented with our body, our hearts and our minds.

Although we are upset with each other we always return to that place, our safe
place. This bed is my safe heaven, it is where I always want to have you and it is where I
want to wake up by your side. I don't want to wake up with anyone else by my side, I
want to feel your angry lion snoring in my ear. I want to feel how you squeeze me when
you hold me in your sleep, I want to feel your penis pressed against my butt in the
middle of the night.

Do you have never wondered why I have never slept again in the barracks even
though I can be furious and full of rage because of you. It is because I promised never to
go back to sleep in a bed other than ours, I promised myself to always sleep by your side,
despite everything. To fight for US no matter how horrible things are. I promised to
express myself more, say what I think and feel even if it is good and bad.
Why?
Because I love you, Idiot! And you are worth fighting.
Please understand why I make you to go to bed with me, even for a few seconds.
The reason I wait for you in bed and why I always stay in bed after 0530 in Saturday
morning and my reason to be dedicated it to US.

PS. I’m going back to bed, to sleep by your side or maybe to play with your hair.
With Love,

S.

LETTER 1

Dear Lover,

I love you with all my heart. Every day I am very happy by your side. I want to grow by your
side and be the best person for you. I want to wake up with you every morning, with your
snoring in my ear, feel your warmth on my back and feel your lips on mine when I wake up. I
want to learn from you and love you freely.

Ps. Is 0936, time to get up and started cleaning baby.

With love,

Your B.M.,
Your annoying girlfriend,
And your Wifey.

S.
