When it comes to describing an experience that some time could have changed my life forever and how it changed my outlook on life for the better from now on, I do anything else to think about those years I spend in one of the toughest units in the military: the paratroopers.
Thus, in the following essay, I am going to take a look at both sides of the argument, stating why those years in there, changed forever my life insight.
To start with, as a child raised in the 90s, I was always exposed to the cinema where the main characters were always tough and rude men and as a result of this, I grow up looking up military, not only for their discipline and determination but also by their physical endurance and training.
Consequently, as soon as I had the chance to join the army, I took my fate when I glance at the opportunity to join the Spanish paratroopers back in 2008. Nonetheless, I had to push through in order to get a placement there amid those hardened men and women who so many times had to be sent abroad to take a risk in challenging missions.
On account of this, I pass the routine steps to get into the army and I get it largely due to my lingering personally whoever gets what it proposes. On top of that, I had the chance to go to other countries to carry out countless activities, and indeed I learn a lot of their cultures and way of life.
It goes without saying that the time I spent during the period of duty, taught me a lot of things that nobody in normal lives could ever imagine, and helped me to raise awareness of the imperative of studying to get the most out of ourselves forward in life. As for me nowadays, I'm about to get my final English degree and hopefully get a job as an English teacher or something English related stuff.
All things considered, my own view on the matter is that life looks easier after having to go through that hostile martial environment I was submitted, and I learn that one never has to give up because nothing in life is unreachable, and if we strive to thrive, at the end the odds will pay off.
