Have you ever thought about joining the U.S Military?
I have. I don't know if I have what it takes. I actually highly doubt that I do have what it takes.
I do want to go to college but I feel like I need to do something to repay the world. (And you're probably like, "How will joining the Military help you repay the world?") They don't just kill people and get killed. Our soldiers help others. They fight for the rights that we have and that most of us take for granted.
As I said before, I'm not much of a Military person, but possibly something like the Peace Corp or YWAM kind of person. Many may be aware of the first one, but not the second. (There are many more programs than just these two obviously.) YWAM is:
"Youth With A Mission is an international volunteer movement of Christians from many backgrounds, cultures and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM (pronounced "WHY-wham"), our purpose is simply to know God and to make Him known.
When YWAM began in 1960, our main focus was giving young people opportunities to demonstrate the love of Jesus to the whole world, according to His command in Mark 16:15. Today, we still focus on youth, but we have members (known as “YWAMers”) of almost every age and many of our short-term efforts have grown into long-term endeavors that have impacted lives and nations.
YWAM has a decentralized structure that encourages new vision and the exploration of new ways to change lives through training, convey the message of the gospel and care for those in need. We are currently operating in more than 1000 locations in over 180 countries, with a staff of over 18,000."
But yes...I dunno. If I were going to go into the Military I guess I would go into the Air Force, since this is the only one I have actually looked into. But all together I guess I just really feel the need to go help others, not even try to force religion down their throat, but just to help them and see their lives improve.
