For our first assignment we had to list all of the subcultures we were in and write on one of them, I chose to do my military family and experience....
Few people know how it feels to be in a military family or have to experience having someone overseas your freshman semester of college, like I do. Tension rises in the family right before the deployment from sadness, anger, and anxiety. "Worry" is the one word that tops your vocabulary and runs your life. From worrying about how the loved one is doing to worrying about how you're going to pay for college, you worry all the time. When that person's gone everything seems to go wrong, then you get used to not having them there. All the while every family member is filled with unmistakable feelings of of patriotism, pride, and sacrifice. We fight the political battles to defend our loved one and attempt to win our own internal battles of carrying on each day as normal as possible. (14 Jan. '08)
