This day, my boyfriend left for Marine basic training. He stayed at Parris Island, SC, for three solid months. The only communication we had was weekly letters. I must stay, those were some of the hardest days of my life; I learned a lot about life, grew up and stronger, determined my priorities and learned how to carry on. Plus my writing skills flourished, because I wrote multiple letters to Ethan every day.
-
I moved to Charlotte, NC, and began attending college.
-
Ethan graduated from Marine basic training. No more letters! I missed him terribly, but I am so proud of him!

I decided to transfer to Pitt Community college in pursuit of a degree in medical sonography. So I packed up my stuff and moved back home to New Bern, NC.
