Isolation: The Impact Of Growing Up In An Environment
Growing up in an environment that is very isolated can really have an impact on someone. In my case I took from that experience and told myself I would never be alone. This may seem so small, but this is the reason I decided to join the Army. I hate being alone, so in becoming a solider you will never be alone because there is a sense of acceptance. While I was growing in isolation I can now how I was learning then and I look back and realize I’m still learning. I’m learning to work in groups with other people, and communicate, and form new skills. What I went through as a child helps me to understand that I have a sense of belonging.
