Mu sabata yonseyi ndalandira maimelo odabwitsa ochokera kwa anzanga ndi achibale omwe ali ndi mawu olimbikitsa, popeza amadziwa momwe ndimavutikira ndi tchuthi chokwera. Imelo yochokera kwa bwenzi langa Jimmy idakhala nane chifukwa chodabwitsa, ngakhale zomwe zidamuchitikira zinali zopweteka modabwitsa kuwerenga, china chake chomwe adandiyanjananso chimandigwira.

Nkhani ya Jimmy inali yokhudza zomwe anakumana nazo ku U.S. Air Force Academy panthaŵi yomwe ankaitcha "Hell Week", chochitika chomwe chinatenga masiku angapo chomwe chimasonyeza kutha kwa chaka choyamba cha maphunziro a cadet. Kukwaniritsa kapena kuchita bwino, kupulumuka, chochitikachi chimatanthauza kuvomereza kumtunda ndipo, pamapeto pake, nthawi yopuma.

Nkhani ya Jimmy motere:

"Ndikukumbukira ndikudzuka tsiku lachiwiri la Hell Sabata. Kunali molawirira kwambiri. Mwina 6 koloko ndinali nditatopa m'maganizo ndi mthupi kuyambira dzulo lake pomwe ndidamva nsapato za wina akugwedeza zopindika zitseko zanga. Ndimaganiza kuti gulu la SWAT likubwera . "Tavalani! Zitseko zatseguka!” Ndinafulumira, koma mofulumira kwambiri, kuti nditulukemo. Ine ndi mnzanga amene ndinkagona naye tinali awiri oyamba m’holoyo. Panali anthu 40 apamwamba akutiyembekezera, ndipo tinalandira chisamaliro cha aliyense mpaka anzanga a m’kalasimo analowa. Ndinali wosweka mtima. Ndinkaona ngati ndikufunika kugona kwa masiku angapo ululu woterewu usanathe. Kuyenda kulikonse kunali kofewa, koma kunalibe nthawi yachifundo. " PANSI! UP! PASI! UP! "Sanatiuze kuti tichite zingati. Zinangoganiza kuti tipitiliza mpaka dziko lapansi litagwa padzuwa. Ndinali wosalimba minofu patangopita mphindi ziwiri kulowa mu holoyo kutatsala masiku atatu-osachepera, ndizomwe ndimaganiza. Sabata la Gahena lidapangidwa kuti lichotse malingaliro amunthu nthawi ndi chiyembekezo. Mawotchi athu analandidwa kwa ife ndipo munthu yekhayo amene timalankhula naye usiku, monong’ona, anali mnzathu wokhala naye m’chipinda chimodzi.”

Ndikudziwa kuti nkhani yake ikuwoneka yodabwitsa poyerekeza ndi ulendo wokwera pamahatchi, koma chodabwitsa, ndimagwirizana ndi momwe amamvera. Zomwe ndidasilira kwambiri pankhaniyi ndikuti amatha kumvetsetsa zomwe anali kukumana nazo munthawiyo ndikumvetsetsa momwe maphunzirowo akhudzira moyo wake. Zampatsa chidziwitso cha ulemu ndi kukhulupirika komanso mtundu waubwenzi womwe umakhalapo zaka, makontinenti ndi mibadwo. Nthawi zonse ndimanena zofanana pazakukwera pamahatchi. Chiyembekezo sichinachoke; ngati pali china chodziwika kwambiri. Koma nthawi imachoka mosavuta, ndipo si kawirikawiri kuti chinthu chimodzi chomwe timachita chimakhala ndi nthawi yochichotsa. Za ine, sabata ino zidapita mbali zonse: Masiku ena amawoneka osatha koma ena samatha nthawi yayitali. Lero, tsiku lomaliza kukwera, linali limodzi la masiku amenewo.

Ndinafika kumapeto. Kupuma tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi chinali chimodzi mwazinthu zabwino kwambiri zomwe ndikadadzichitira ndekha, chifukwa lero ndinali nditapumula, ndili ndi mphamvu ndipo ndinali ndiulendo womaliza wosangalatsa. Linali limodzi mwa masiku omwe ndinkakonda kwambiri ponena za malo pamene tinkadutsa m'mapiri, ng'ombe za ng'ombe, akavalo akutchire ndi miimba yakuda ikuwuluka pamwamba. Tinkakumana ndi chilengedwe pachimake chosasokonezeka. Zinali zangwiro.

Chithunzi chalero ndikumukumbatira Cisco. Sabata ino yandiphunzitsa zambiri, osati zongokwera wokwera kudzera mwa owongolera, Maria, ndi okwera ena koma za ine. Chofunika kwambiri, ndinaphunzira kuti mphunzitsi wabwino kwambiri yemwe ndinali naye anali Cisco. Anandilezera mtima ndipo adandipatsa nthawi kuti ndilingalire. Ngati mudakwerapo musanadziwe kufunika kokhala ndi kavalo wofatsa komanso womvetsetsa, makamaka ngati ndinu woyamba.

Pamene ndinadutsa pa geti lolowa m’makola m’maminiti omalizira a ulendowo, ndinang’amba, osakhulupirira kuti ndinamalizadi nditakhala pa chishalo. Ndinali ndi chisoni kuti linali tsiku lomaliza koma ndinadabwa ndi zimene ndinali nditangochita kumene. Kwa ine, ndikudziwa kuti mtsogolomu mudzakhala okwera kwambiri ndipo ulendowu udzakhala ndi ine nthawi zonse pamene ndikupitiriza ulendo umene ndinauyamba zaka zambiri zapitazo.
