How I did it: There truly is an enormous difference between "want" and "need." What I want to do in life is be happy, and that is also what I need to do. That's where the differences stop. For now, I am sure that I would like to get out of the Army and go to nursing school, then hopefully someday pay it all forward to people in need. To whom much is given, much is expected, and God has blessed me with the right amount of compassion and intelligence to get the job done. I hope it all works out, but even if it doesn't, I will again one day discover what I want from life, perhaps even as I am in the process of making it happen.
