Value of a soldier

It was that special day that Rex had been waiting for all along, day where he seek that entrance for his main motive, serving for innocent America. In his whole life, Rex had not been very socialized with his friends and family, but he was more concern about the condition of the country instead. Being all alone throughout his whole life such as in school, at home and anywhere else made people hate him more. Even rumors about Rex were starting to spread around town, but he still cared nothing.

Around the middle of 2035 was when North America was in a terrible crisis, unfortunately invaded by the Russians. Rex was really looking forward to start his duty of closing up the war. But he realized that things did not go smoothly as expected during his trainings. It all started when he met all of his soldier mates. Rex and everyone else in the group got to know each other well. But after a few weeks when they had almost mastered their training skills, Rex had totally lost his communication with his soldier mates. He felt awesome himself after learning a lot he thought he was like a powerful soldier. During teamwork trainings, only Rex’s group progress was untidy due to lack of communication. And till that day, all the soldiers in the camp, just the other people, started to hate him. They totally dislike about Rex focusing on nothing but himself.

Rex did not seem to change after days had passed. He was still known as a loner and was disallowed to start his main duty until he realized what had happened.

One night, everyone was on their bunks enjoying their sweet dreams. In one of the rooms, four friends, Jack, Zack, Joey and Zoey, were wide awake as they were gossiping a lot more about Rex. In one part of their conversation, Jack mentioned that the only way for Rex to learn his lesson, was to attack him with pranks; more and more pranks. And so, the four of them went to the room where Rex was, and the plans began.

Rex woke up the next day and was delighted to see the morning sunshine. Everyone was quickly dressing up before assembling to start with their usual training, except that Rex was uncomfortable after seeing his face in the mirror. It was common prank where it was all covered up with scribbling drawings from a permanent marker. Rex had to just fall in; he did not have much choice. And yes, all were pointing to Rex’s face and burst out laughing. Rex had never felt this embarrassed before. He was then sent off to have a talk with the Commander.

More pranks were happening during their daily their trainings. It seemed that Jack, Zack, Joey and Zoey’s plans went very well throughout the days. There was once when they were having training in the dark woods, and Rex’s teammates was hiding away from Rex. He then got very frightened till he cried. During lunchtime, Zack pushed Rex’s head all the way down to his dish and his face was all covered up with mashed potatoes and red beans. People paused eating and looked; out came their laughter again.
After a few days, Rex could not withstand their brilliant plans any longer. That was the time he realized that his reputation of a soldier was sliding down. There was no point of going ahead for his objective if he got pranked for almost every single day. All the while, it was all about attitude towards others and not just towards himself. Till then, Rex slowly turned over a new leaf, starting to build up his bonding with his soldier mates. Rex realized that things happening during training were different; feeling more better after apologizing to everyone in the camp.

Weeks later, Rex, together with his friends, had completed all of their training courses. Everyone graduated as true soldiers; this was what Rex was waiting for all along. They were promoted to the next level and Rex had finally got to meet his motive of demolishing the Russians.
