Journal Two - Skyler Buschman

Hello! My name is Skyler Buschman. I'm currently an undecided major, but physics, medicine and anatomy are areas in which I'm supremely interested in. I am from Delaware, Ohio and I graduated from Rutherford B. Hayes high school in Delaware. I'm the youngest of 4. I have 2 brothers and one sister, ages 20, 23 and 25. I am the only one of my siblings to attend a university after high school and I have high aspirations to be the only one in my entire family to graduate from college with a degree.
My girlfriend of almost 3 years, Alli and I on our last day of highschool.

"Too much blood has been spilled where you are going. Even the good spirits have fled from that place." (Pg.11) This quote really shows the main theme in war. Ideals are peaceful, but history is violent. There are boundaries that are crossed in war, where one should never seek to cross, but it happens all the time. Even in our world right now, it is happening. But history has showed us that in order for a situation like this to change for the better, no matter what, blood must be shed. There will be death. The only thing that separates you is the cause you're fighting for. But what really stood out to me, is the fact that it is children witnessing these horrors. There is no way to come back from that...(A Long Way Gone)

      I also agree with you about in order for it to get better blood will be shed. That's the sad and not pretty picture about war there will always be lost of life. Only if us humans could find a way to resolve conflicts that don't lead into wars. With wars it effects the familes and how they live the rest of their lives.

    It was nice meeting you Skylar. Good luck finding your direction in life! Its good that you have interests that will be helpful to the world.

    Living in a developed country, we tend to take things for granted. The technology and the people around us. If only the world was a happy place. Its sad that these things have to be witnessed. I couldn't imagine the loss of a family member or friend in any sort of dehumanizing manor. War is a terrible thing but is part of human nature.
