PROMOTION BOARD !!
ok so i prolly have mentioned previously about promotion board and how extremely nervous i was and that i was gonna be a failure at life at it. anyways they posted the results this morning and i was really too scared to look at the sheet or even let anyone tell me. i was walking on campus and people started running to me asking if i had checked yet or if i knew. i was like no im gonna check now. possibly thinking that i was put into a position that was way not meant for me or something that i didnt want. but then wheni get close to the rotc building all the unarmed girls run out to me and start frantically saying kari have you checked yet only causing me to freak out even more. until shaterica said you got something really unexpected. this is when i started running. when i got in i pushed whoever was in front of me and saw my name. second from the top. i was battalion XO! are you like kidding me?? me?? kari ann walpole?? the one everyone tends to underestimate??? wow and then ppl around me are like keep reading. im like what else could i have gotten. as i get toward where the team commanders are listed i was unarmed commander too?!?!? wow i really didnt see that one coming after all the drama thats happened lately. but wow what an amazing start to my day. its like from that moment even the worst couldnt make me feel bad. the fact that i had failed like two tests in the same day didnt even make me upset. only problem i see thats coming is the resentment from those around me and people who i think shouldve gotten positions that they down right deserved rather than getting demoted. i dont know how exactly im going to go about this but i guess i will learn.just imagine the load i will have next year. most likely the commander of the battalion and commander of one of biggest team in rotc.i guess that means they all really have faith in me. kinda brings me back to my freshman year when they had asked me what i wanted to be senior year. that time it was battalion commander and drill team commander. and look at it now. my dreams came true!!!
