This quote is important to me because I can relate to it greatly, especially since I’m a military girlfriend and my boyfriend can’t always be around to experience things with me. We have been together for a year and in that year a lot has happened and every time I had wished that Alex could have been around to see me smile, to hear me laugh, to help me through the tears. But no matter how hard it is to not have him around, I know he’d do anything to be by my side and there is plenty of things that he wishes I could be around to experience with him also. In the end, I wouldn’t have it any other way
Love is not all”, by Edna Millay has a great message for the reader and the direction to real life. People reading the poem have great ideas to get from the poem. The poem will talk about how less important love will be compared to other life driving necessities, like, water, food, and air. But many people put a lot of weight in love than these other things. It is clear that many people will befriend death just to revenge rejection from the loved ones. The poet does not say that it is essential to stay without love. She is opposing that is more important than other things in the world but she will never sit back to watch herself losing her love.

Technology has open the possibility for new advancements and creations in the world. In medicine, for example, technology has helped increase lifespan, improved our life conditions and reduce the risk of harmful diseases. However, for some patients, technology has also been accompanied with prolonged suffering and with devastating physical and medical expenses. With more people connected today to CPR machines during their time of deaths, many individuals are having a harder time to achieve a “death with dignity”, in part because technology is disrupting both the quality of living of patients and the control they have over their own bodies. That being said, given this new technological context, can it be possible for patients to

What do military families truly endure to maintain a relationship despite constant time apart during deployments? Husbands and wives are often forced to fill each others role while the other is away. When a parent is not used to being around a child it is hard to know to act and react to the child’s actions. All members of a military family can face some form of post traumatic stress disorder due to the unnatural lifestyle that is lived daily. Deployments cause military families to struggle more so than nonmilitary families due to role reversals, added child maltreatment and PTSD.
MILITARY SPOUSES AND THE CHALLENGES OF MILITARY Abstract Army life is unique to say the least. The subculture, with its own language, rules, acronyms and ways, is foreign to the general population. The Global war on Terrorism has brought more awareness and certainly more curiosity about Army life. (Krajeski, 2006, 2008, p. 5).Today, more than ever, the military spouse is a pioneer who travels to strange lands, rears her
During the National Leadership Summit on Military Families, held in 2009, Mrs. Gail McGinn, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, delivered the keynote address for the Summit. In Mrs. McGinn’s keynote speech, she acknowledged the progress that has been made in supporting military families since the 1980’s while emphasizing the facts surrounding the issues of the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mrs. McGinn stated that “the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are placing military families under more strain than at any time in the era of the All-Volunteer Force, and more needs to be done to ensure that programs and policies are able to meet current challenges” (Booth, Segal, & Place, 2009). During that Summit the top five challenges identified were; the challenges of the deployment cycle, the psychological health of military families, the access to services and consistency of
Ever since women have been apart of society and before they wanted to be treated and be alongside men in battle.But are they ready for what's out there and to see and do what men have done for thousands of years.

“Don’t be discouraged – every relationship you have is a failure, until you find the right one” (Flynn 171). This quote from the book Dark Places really speaks to me. Throughout every persons lifetime they are involved in numerous amounts of relationships; these range from romantic relationships, to friendships, and to family relationships. This quote from Gillian Flynn signifies that it is okay for people to have bad and not strong relationships, not every relationship will add up to be a good one. We see this throughout the story with Libby Day because she is scared to interact with people throughout her life, but eventually finds people who she is comfortable with.
At a first glance, the title of the poem, “Love after Love”, might appear to imitate another soppy love poem written by another pretentious poet claiming to know yet another secret to a perfect love. One could not be more wrong. Nor, would one know, at a glance, the impact Derek Wallcott’s poem, “Love After Love”, has had on my life. An impact that would make all the difference, through all of the trials and tribulations, seventeen-year-old me has endured so far. In a short fifteen lines, I have relearned the everlasting importance of self-love and the transformative powers I hold within myself. These lessons which I vowed, to never let myself, again, forget.
"In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that I'm the one he was supposed to be with & I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt. Because how can you give your dreams to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the truest love is the love that can never be"
