For that bright blue sky
2024-11-28
Lying on the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down from my forehead and fell into my eyes, causing a strong stinging sensation... I blinked hard and quickly opened my eyes again, continuing to stare at the chest ring target 100 meters away. At that moment, I was at the live fire shooting assessment site of the Air Force Engineering University's new training. Facing the first threshold of my military career - crossing it means that I will end my two month new training life and officially become a glorious military academy student, embarking on a passionate youth of "one bar" and chasing my long-awaited blue dream. Blue is my favorite color. When I was a child, my parents were busy with work and had no time to take care of me. I used to play alone, and when I got tired, I would lie on the grass, looking at the clear blue sky, watching the clouds quietly change, and the birds gently fly by. In my heart, the sky represents dreams and hope. My father is a border guard, and I have heard him tell stories about border guards many times. In my father's description, the border of our country is magnificent and magnificent, with border officers and soldiers measuring the long border line with their footsteps. They climb mountains and valleys, cross rivers and marshes, guarding the lights of thousands of households behind them. Officers and soldiers like to look up at the sky, sometimes the sky can help them identify their direction, sometimes the sky can express their longing - looking at the vast and boundless sky, imagining the appearance of their family, their perseverance has a deeper meaning. As I grew older, I understood my father better: those unknown years, when I lay alone on the grass watching the clouds, perhaps on another piece of land under the sky, my father and his comrades were fighting and defending in harsh environments. I don't know which mountain or river it is, witnessing their tall figures. In high school, I had an idea: to follow in my father's footsteps and become a person who defends and fights for our country. Once the seeds of dreams are planted, they will take root and sprout. In September of this year, I successfully enrolled in the Air Force Engineering University and put on the military uniform that I had been dreaming of. However, it was only after entering military school that I realized there is a significant gap between my dreams and reality. I don't understand why the washbasin needs to be placed uniformly, towels need to be squeezed out with edges, blankets need to be folded into tofu cubes, and even the placement of toothbrushes and soap boxes is particular... In addition to internal affairs, the high-intensity physical training and high standards of queue training make me feel a bit at a loss. The military camp that I once longed for once made me feel repelled. Do you want to give up after experiencing this setback On the other end of the phone, my father meaningfully told me that the beliefs of soldiers are strengthened through daily tempering. The border environment where he was stationed was harsh and the conditions were difficult. Many officers and soldiers had considered giving up, but only by truly overcoming physical and psychological barriers can they be qualified to step onto the border and understand what a noble cause they were engaged in. Not everyone has the opportunity to contribute their youth to the motherland My father's words deeply touched me. When I tried to look at it from a different perspective, everything in the military academy seemed to become cute: the teachers repeatedly taught under the scorching sun, the squad leader cared for me in daily life, and when I was exhausted during the recent march, my comrades took off my equipment and carried it on themselves... It turned out that many moments of warmth were overlooked by me. From that day on, I began to re-examine myself and plan for the future. To successfully pass the physical fitness level, I started to use my rest time to practice more. When I rest, I also lie on the lawn and look up at the sky like I did when I was a child. Nowadays, there are more dreams and hopes on top of the cloud - because blue has become the color of my military uniform; The sky has become the 'poetry and distant place' that I am about to embark on. Step by step, I finally reached the end of my new training. In the live fire assessment, I fired each shot steadily and ultimately won the first place in the team assessment with excellent results. When the leader of the student team wore the "sharpshooter" big red flower for me, my heart was filled with emotion. It witnessed my growth and transformation, and also made me understand more why I came here and why I chose to persevere - for the dream in my heart and for that bright blue sky! (New Society)
