hello everyone. well following the great labor day weekend, my world was turned upside down last week due to a death of a very important family member. I lost my cousin who was only 29 years old. This cousin of mine was the one who I grew up with as a child and was the one who I looked up too in every possible way. He grew up in LA, were throughout his school career was almost near perfect. He was valedictorian in high school, graduated Stanford in 3 years and explored life by serving our country. After
graduating from Stanford, he wanted to
fulfill his commitment to his country by joining the US army as a
captain of his networking brigade for his aviation team. During his time served as a US
solider, he also worked with the Navy. He served the war/stationed in Korea and in Iraq for a total of 6 years overseas. We are not quite sure what had happened to him, but what we do know is that we lost a very
genuine person. He was the most humble,
intelligent, down to earth person I know and it
saddens me very much that he is gone. This is a shock to all my family and as of right now we are at a lost for words. There has been some time that has past now, and instead of feeling sad, I think of him and see what kind of person he was and what he accomplished not only for himself but for others. He is a representation of me and I am very proud of him and am reminded everyday now how life is very delicate. Whenever I think of him now, it brings me peace, and motivation to move on and represent him and for his legacy to go on. Before this class, I was not very big on blogs, but as I wrote this, it has helped me release some of the things that have been on my mind. And for whoever is reading this, it makes me proud to write about him and share what a great person he was and what he has accomplished. till next time...
