I Love Surfing Research Paper

I too love surfing, and tattoos. I grew up in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and basically lived on the water. When I was in high school, my older brother would pick me up after school, I would change in his car, and we would spend the rest of the day surfing or skim boarding depending on the weather. I did do skateboarding, and rollerblading for a little while but never got that much into it. Additionally, I started getting tattoos, when I was young, and ended up filling out my full sleeve on my right arm while I was deployed in Colombia, South America. I went with the day of the dead theme throughout my sleeve, but have multiple other tattoos also. 
I think I felt the same way you did after 9/11, just because of the way the news was portraying

the Muslim religion. I felt like everyone from the middle east could be a terrorist, or linked to a terrorist. After joining the Army, I deployed multiple times to the middle east, and worked with many soldiers from the Afghan military. I ended up become close to a few Afghan soldiers while being deployed, and got a wakeup call that, these are true Muslims. They were super nice, and if I would say to them, "hey that's a cool scarf you are wearing," they would take it off, and insist on me having it as a gift. Many of the Soldiers had family members tortured and killed because they were in the military, but they still fought against the extremists, to help their country. After seeing this, it has become an inspiration for me to continue to help the oppressed people around the world in my every day job.
