Conqueror

A little girl by the name of Maame,strolls down the loud,dusty streets of Accra,Ghana,hot tears streaming down her face,something in her awakens.

She cries because she’s just been told by her Ghanaian elders, she’ll never amount to anything,that she is not brilliant.

Her tears turn into anger,she balls her fist and looks up at the sky and wails “God help me,Use me”Ten years later that girl braves to overcome,In an unknown land she craves to be a somebody.

 

 

Steadfast,Courageous,Dependent,Focused,Better,Nicer,Leader,Confident. That’s what she longs to be.Her life isn’t a playground it’s a battleground.She wants to pursue a dream far greater in life.She wants to make a difference on this planet called Earth.

 

 

 

She’s learned not  to give way for fear or failure.

To reject complacency,To not procrastinate her progress.

To pursue.To not waste any oppurtnuity.

Make no excuses.

She will not LIE,CHEAT,or STEAL

She’s learned to cease moments,lend a helping hand,look for the good in the bad.

 

 

And most of all she’s learned to motivate herself and stay determined to build her Life on a solid foundation.

 

 

 

 

Coming from a poverty stricken home has had its lasting effects on her.

Being told to snap out of her dream of wanting to help,serve and protect others.

 

 

The taunts,the accusations,the negative words,the laughs,the gossip,only fuels her passion to strive and rise from the ashes and break the chain of poverty,under achieving,and settling for less. She’s been through hell and back,She’s seen and has been through things a fifteen-year-old doesn’t deserve to see nor go through.

 

 

Her past of self-destruction,bitterness,cowardness will not influence her future in anyway.

 

 

She will take everything she’s learned into consideration.Her time of giving in to fear and failure stops NOW!

 

 

 

She sees herself maneuvering through the trenches,adrenaline inclining.

Many places she will be deployed,missions she will fulfill.

 

She will live up to her duty and put the welfare of the nation,the Army,and her subordinates before her own.

 

 

She will bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S Constitution,the Army,her unit and other soldiers.

She will set her mind out to do what’s right.legally and morally.

She will save lives on battlegrounds.

 

She will resuscitate hearts and apply her medical knowledge to save thousands of lives.
