The rain is pouring down heavily

Even though

That will not be a great excuse

To resume our training schedule 

So here we are drench with cold rain and a mixture of dirty mud

Running around the training forests with a very heavy luggage at our back

I was at the back of the line I have difficulty of keeping up with them

I suddenly trip falling down at the ground full of mud

My whole body is now covered with mud

"Pipsqueak you better get up or we will leave you behind!" The commandant yelled

I tried to stood up with my heavy luggage and suddenly I felt someone take my luggage

"I will help you" Henry said

He carried both of my luggage and his with ease

He gotten a lot stronger this past months

When I could catch up with them I took my luggage from him and smiled my sign of appreciation of his random act of kindness

I kept running to keep up with them and get stronger

I will definitely get stronger!!

We are now going to have a test balance to see who would pass

For who could learn the 3D manoeuvring gear

All of us would line up to see

There were poles that would lift us up with strings attached at our hips 

We need to balance ourselves

In order to pass the test

Henry easily passed the test with no difficulty

His dangling there effortlessly

It was now my turn 

I had difficulty of balancing myself but I immediately calm down 

And I easily balanced myself 

The commandant said that I passed the test

It was now Alex's turn

They rise him up

Alex wobble a bit but he immediately got the hang of it 

And he was now steady descending in air 

The commandant nodded in approval

But there was a fly annoying him

And Alex tried to shoo it away by waving his hands 

But he suddenly got out of balance and he fell down hitting his head in the process

The others laughed at his misfortune

Henry was hysterically laughing

I was stifling my laughter

But I'm still glad that all of us passed

We have been training for three years

Our Graduation is near

So all of us decided to see Mrs. Evans

We are here at our old house

"All of you have grown to great soldiers" She said and hugged the three of us
