theme thursday - discipline
my brother is one of the most disciplined human beings i know. instead of taking the ROTC route - he first enlisted with the National Guard - and then spent a few years to become an officer. i remember him, whenever i feel like letting myself slack - from duty, from work, and from myself. not just in the army - he studied so hard in college - it broke my heart to hear how some asshole jacked up the curve for the rest of his class - and despite all that studying - it only made him average. that sucked. but it didn’t break him. he inspires me to be strong.
i think he got it from our mom - whose also pictured here. she’s the strongest woman i know - she left everything she knew behind, in the Philippines - for a chance to make a better life for her family - for my brother and myself. she works so damn hard - and she never makes any excuses for herself.
