I have been in the British Army for 3 years now, and I can officially leave, but it takes a year to leave, so I do have to be in for another year. I have loved my time in the army, but about two years in, I knew I wanted to do entrepreneurship (make videos on YouTube). My dream job as a child was to be in the army, so I followed it, but I peeled that purpose layer back, and now I want to retire my mum. I spoke to my mum about that yesterday, and she said, surprisingly, 'I will support you in anything you want to do' and that she has faith in me. I didn't expect this, as my parents think everything online is a scam, including making money online. My dad, on the other hand, doesn't know yet, but I will tell him when I can. Unlike my mum, when I joined the army, my dad was like, 'Don't join the army; there is no place for you in there and said I would die.' My mum supported me the whole way, even signing the paper so I could join, as I was under 18 at this point. But when I joined, he was the proudest man ever; he tells all of his friends and his work colleagues about me and tells them all the things I am getting up to. So I will have to do my last year, but whatever, I'm not going to make it shit; I will still do all the fun courses I want to do. Tell your parents what you are doing, as they might actually support you.
