Short story

It was a gloomy morning. The American soldiers in Afghanistan were ordered to meet early in the morning to discuss the current war situations when suddenly the siren turned on. There was an emergency at the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan and the soldiers were assigned into their units to go to the embassy building and stop all the commotion. While on their way to the embassy building, one of the trucks suddenly stopped. The car engine wasn't working so the soldiers had no choice but to walk their way to the site. Because the group of American soldiers were vulnerable of getting attacked from the Afghanistan terrorists, they had to keep their identity a secret. To avoid any possible shootings, the group of soldiers decided to take a short cut through the woods. However, a Afghanistan spy had already found out about the situation and were following the American soldiers. When the American soldiers decided to stop by the river to take a break, the Afghanistan terrorists took the opportunity to attack them. When the shooting started, the American soldiers defended themselves by shooting back. But the number of Afghanistan soldiers outnumbered the American unit team. In order to fight back, they needed more soldiers to help, so the captain sent one of is members to run to the embassy building and report the situation near the river. So the soldier ran to the embassy and two more units were brought in to help the soldiers fight back.

Decision Making

There are approximately thousands of decisions that I must make in any given day. Some are less important than others but they all affect me in various ways. The type of decisions I must make are usually influenced by the environment I am in and the people that I spend my time with. For instance, if I wanted to do something during class I must take into considerations of how my actions will affect the people around me. My friends and family affect how I make my decisions because they influence me to think and act in a certain way. For example, when I had to decide which college to go, I had to talk it over with my parents and make my final decisions. Also, there were times when I had to act a certain way because of my family. When my parents decided to come to America, I had decide to come with them.
