Essay About the Military

By Donna

The military is the best chance to improve yourself in the US if you are an immigrant and you don't have money.

When I came to the USA, I didn't know what I should do. If you don't have any goals, you are frustrated. Now there are hard times in the World, and I read a book about the military, then I decided what I really want.

My family is very big. I have 4 younger sisters and 2 brothers. I'm the oldest child in my family. So I can help my family get insurance, earn some money, and improve myself. In the US, the military will give you a lot of benefits (free education, insurance, apartments...), and also you can learn English faster.

I decided the Navy is the best for me! All my family is proud of me. My younger sisters are talking to their friends about me.

But I must learn to pass ASVAB test (math, general, English skills). Without that test you can't enjoy the military. On the internet you also can find preparation material (books) special for that test. So it is very easy to order.

I wish other immigrants will find easier way to survive after they moved. But finally I founded my way in my new life, and new goals, I want to reach.
