So we head down to the Air Force Base, and I'm all excited because I'm really wanting to join the Air Force when I get older. Mom says she wants to come.
When we finally get to the Air Force Base, dad takes my brother and goes and looks at the hangars and helicopters and the C-130s that are on base. Mom makes me stay with her and go look at cooking and beauty supplies in the local mall for citizens staying on base.
Good God. I am sick of this. I am so sick of you encouraging me to be a "stay-at-home-mom." I really, really don't want to be someone like that. I've told you since I was 12 that I wanted to join the Military. Twelve. I'm 17 now. I want to join the Air Force when I'm old enough. But no, because of you I can't join the Military program at high school, I can't even go with the guys to see the aircraft at the Air Force Base.
Can you please, please please please see that I don't want to play dress up, I don't want to stay and shop at the mall for hours, I don't want to be the stereo typical woman. I really want to join the Military and all you are is holding me back because you think that I shouldn't be in the Military.
So you don't want me serving my country. You want me staying in the house all day cooking and cleaning like you did for the past 20 years.
Mom, I've said this before and I'll say it again, I don't want to be that woman.
Why you can't let me be who I want to be and do what I want to do I really can't understand, but I'm going to join the Air Force, IDC what you say. -.-
