Make My Bed

By Enlisted E-3 FN GREEN


In Navy ROTC boot camp Great Lakes, I made my bed. The cold winter mornings, marching to the chow hall for a hot meal. Was the satisfaction I got from just making my bed
I can only change the world by making my bed. I try to make my bed every day so that it becomes routine to me. I learned this in Navy ROTC boot camp. If you make your bed every morning you will of have accomplished the first task of the day. That will give you a small sense of pride. And will encourage you to do another task and another and another and by the end of the day that one task completed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you’ll never be able to do the big things right. And If by chance you have a miserable day or a good day you will come home to a bed that is made that you made.
