Memoir Projects #3

     The memoir Service by Marcus Lutrell really stood out to me. Hearing about the hardships our American soldiers have to go through really gives me perspective and I find I have a lot of respect for them. I can't imagine what it would be like to be in a place where every minute of everyday you weren't safe and you didn't know if you were going to live to see the next day. Learning about Marcus Luttrell specifically gave me a lot of respect for him. He was a navy seal, he served 8 years, and received a Purple Heart. To me, that is extremely respectable.

     The memoir presentation of Chosen By a Horse by Susan Richards gave me some new perspective I didn't have before. I personally have never really been involved with horses, farms, or really have never even known anyone involved with horses so hearing about the story gave me a lot of insight into something I don't really know anything about. I found it really fascinating that the author felt that horses taught her how to better love people. I have never had that kind of connection with an animal so I can't imagine what that is like but I find it very interesting.
