Know Yourself and Seek Self Improvement Options

[fameONE]

Being able to freely roam around with worrying about a Drill Instructor bustin' my chops is a lovely feeling. Even better, being able to freely roam about the world as a United States Marine is like a natural high. I love every second of being part of the Scarlett and Gold. But last night, I was hit with a harsh reality...

Even though I finally got myself together, moved on and decided to do something positive with my life, I find that a lot of my so-called "friends" and acquaintances that I've met over the years aren't doing shit with theirs, and, have no ambition or motivation for betterment.

At this point, the last thing I want to be around is a bunch of pothead drunks. I grew up a hell of a lot in Recruit Training, thats for damned sure, but I'm fully aware that there is so much more to life than working a menial job, easing your way through junior college, occupying the same lame parties and not really seeing a better way.

This isn't meant to target anyone specifically or offend anyone. However, if it does strike close to home then, f**k, do some soul-searching or some type of ill reflection eternal type shit. Right before I left the Depot (Marine Corps Recuit Depot, that is), my idol (Guns DeLeon), made it perfectly clear that, now that I've earned my spot in the brotherhood; I'm better than most people.

I didn't really buy into that. Yes, civilians are nasty, disgusting creatures that don't know the meaning of physical fitness, but I don't walk around with a superiority complex. But lemme tell yous, after witnessing firsthand that many of those I use to kick it with aren't going to amount to anything, I understand that, well, I am better.

My question to everyone now is; What are you doing with your life? If you read this and realize that you're not on the up and up, then what are your goals?

My goals are simply to get out of school and go to a good college, move to California and be a music teacher.
