I opened my eyes slowly , white walls , bright lights , cables.
For a moment I'm not sure where I'm and who I'm but I see her and everything comes to me.

" My dad has always been my hero and my mom my angel but they both left me. My dad died in war and I took care of my mom until the cancer took her away, I felt lost.
I stood in front of the big building with the last letter my dad wrote me. I open it with my shaking hands and read it for the last time before making my decision :

" Tyler I may not be there with you but I want you to know that I'm proud of how far you have come and the man you are now, I want you to know that I will support any choice you make if you do it with all of you, if you put your heart , mind and soul in it . Life doesn't comes easy and what is worthy comes with hard work, say what you need to say and don't apologize for being truth to yourself. Time heals everything and people come and go , don't depend on anyone. The right people will stay, the wrong ones will leave. Don't look for love it will find you... "

I close it I'm sure of my decision I will be a hero just like him . I walk inside ready to join the army."
I remember perfectly the day I joined the army but what I didn't imagined was I will be joining the CIA. I had the perfect profile, orphan , no attachments , army trained and ready to say yes . I have my mind , heart and soul in this , I think of my father as I hand my fake passport to the custom officer in the airport .
