HELLO!
I'm Kyle Crosby
As a kid, I wanted to be like the Greek warrior Achilles. Before going out to battle, an oracle had revealed to him that he had to choose between living an easy and unremarkable life, but would be forgotten forever, or to live a heroic, challenging life and be remembered as the greatest warrior to ever live.
He chose death, and glory.
I too wanted death and glory, or at least to do something worth dying for.
Feeling stuck in a world of insignificance and purposelessness, it is not surprising that I had made an oath to follow my brother into the Marine Corps once I graduated. Thus like Achilles, I too could choose my fate of glory and death.
But the gods, it seems, would not accept my sacrifice.
Come graduation, I found myself headed in a very different path, one that I certainly had not wanted to choose.
