Did You Ever Feel Like Giving Up?: Basic Training Q&A
PVT Leah Atwell discusses how she perseveres when she wants to give up.
My name is Private Leah Atwell and I'm here at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The question I'm answering is from Clayton and he's from Mattoon, Illinois and his question was; "Are there times when you just want to give up?"
My answer for that is; there were plenty of times here at basic training that I've wanted to give up, because I was scared of not being successful.
But thanks to my battle buddies and my drill sergeants, who are very encouraging, they pushed me to keep going and trying and here I am the last week here and it just showed me that I can do thing that I never thought I could.
So when you feel like you give up, that you want to give up, don't give up, because you will succeed as long as you try.
