Reflection 4

This past week has been probably the best week for me of the year in this class. We got to see the Navy Seal Clay and got to see him tell his story. I thought what was very interesting is how he gave up his D1 baseball offers to go to the army and serve his country. That has so be one of the biggest sacrifices ever and I thank men and woman like that every single day and have the ever most respect to people like that decide to go fight for their country.  The story Clay told us about how he had to shoot a little girl who had a bomb strapped to her chest really got my attention, really made me see what some of these people have to live with. I felt terrible that Clay had to be the one to make the decision on whether to let her come across the highway and blow him and his companies and everybody in the restaurant up, or shoot her .  During 7th period he told us that he could see the little girl in the back of the room, taste the blood, and hear gun fire. He said pretty much every morning or late at night he sees that little girl. He wishes instead of shooting her he would of ran out there and held her and they would of both just blown up. Through all of his missions he said that eight of his men died . He said that he would change positions with any one of them that he would rather be dead and have them alive. That really shows the brotherly love these men have with each other that he would switch positions with them. He also talked about how to be successful. you have to want it as much as you want to breathe and that really hit me and motivated me in everyway.
