My best friend, Alex, says I shouldn’t join the Service, but I don’t see any other way. I’ve had enough; enough of my mom, enough of this poverty, enough of this hunger. They say that only one in five survives the full four-year term. Only one in five gets the money on the other side. I can’t stay here, so there’s only one choice, really. It’s going to be me.
