You better want it.

Sometimes in life you've got to fight for things. Now, I'm not trying to sound full of myself here but throughout my life things have often come fairly easy for me. If I put my mind to something, I do what I have to, and I reach my goal. This time spent at training has been hard. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. In this program they don't tell you much, and the things they do tell you are constantly changing. You have to be completely flexible, and always on top of your game.

Sometimes when I get stressed I have the bad habit shutting down instead of working harder, pick up small distractions and lose sight of the end goal. That's where having good friends and family come in. I have had such an amazing support group throughout this experience. From encouraging calls from my parents, to sweet messages from friends. My rock through everything though has been Texie. She and I have decided to never let doubt touch us, we speak positivity and agree to just do what we have to do to graduate training. She calls me out on the carpet when I'm not doing my best and helps me to stay on track. I seriously don't know what I would do without her here. I'm super thankful for her! PLUS SHE CRACKS ME UP.

Yesterday in class we watched the sheet go around to check our name spelling and make nickname changes for our wings. It was a small encouragement, but realizing that they were ordering our wings gave us some hope and lots of excitement. We are living for that moment when we get our wings pinned to our uniforms. We want it. Were going to get it.
