Really don't have any more questions because done already found everything was looking for and everything wanted to know like how much soldiers get paid a year already found most of everything that needed to to know. I'm already looking forward to going to college to start working on my career because it seem like its going to be so much fun getting to meet new people every day.

The story behind my topic choice
The career that I am going to be doing my senior project on is being a soldier. I really want to be a soldier to fight for my country. They pay $1400.00 a month and they keep young citizens motivated. When becoming a soldier you get to do something you love and won't be anything wrong, and you will have your own money instead of depending on your mother all the time.
