Dulce Bellum Inexpertis | Latin | Translation: War is sweet to those who have never experienced it __________________________________ Eleanor Pierce had never thought of herself as a hero. She was bold, hot headed, and different. She never thought of herself as a hero, because she thought heroes were fearless and she was anything but that. She was scared when her brother was drafted as a soldier. She was scared when she took his conscription papers and tore them up, deciding to go in his place. She was scared when she left her home for the first time in her entire life and traveled with a boat of strangers to a new country. She was scared when the lives of men were thrusted into her hands. She was completely terrified as she lived a six year long nightmare. Or as history books call it, World War 2. __________________________________ 'Bravery is not the absence of fear.
