How am I doing? It took me a while to figure out how to start my essay.

This is really challenging tonight I only got 1 paragraph done in about an hour and a half.

I am really excited to start because it seems like everyone is ready to do what it takes. I am hoping that everyone succeeds in this because they will one day be defending this country and I am glad to help them.

How am I doing? I am very nervous for the boot camp because I don’t know what to really expect. I don’t know if they are going to yell at me and make me run and do push-ups. I am also not looking forward to getting up at 4 AM to drive there with my mentor, Staff Sgt. Sayavahn ( Sgt. Say). He says from when he picks me up till when he drops me off will be from about 4 AM when he picks he up till 6PM when he drops me off.
