My Brother's Life

Posted by Adie on February 22nd, 2009. Filed under: Family Matters.

My brother, James, wants to become a PMA-er. Philippine Military Academy student to be exact. He’s been telling us this desire since he was in 4th year high. He told me that he would rather enroll in PMA in Baguio City. But I have the same answer again and again. NO!

You see, I don’t want any member of my family near guns. Or anything resembling too much violence. Granted being a soldier/policeman, serving the country, is an honor for most people. They can get all the honor all they want. Never mind if I will labeled as unpatriotic with my adamant refusal for my brother to become a PMA student. I just want a peaceful, quiet and violence-free lives for all of us.

Hazing, spitting on food, rigid training… that’s not a life for my brother.

Fortunately, my brother listens to me.
