CHAPTER 09: A Medic Course and a War

QUOTE: “A good half of the art of living is resilience.” ― Alain de Botton

LESSON: Building Resilience

SYNOPSIS: During my army service, I completed a medic course while juggling sleep deprivation and intense studies. The Gulf War erupted, and the first missile from Iraq made me confront my mortality as my life flashed before my eyes. At the end of my service, I was released without reserves, ensuring I would never be called back, even in future wars.
