The day I was very happy was the day when I got discharged from the army and I was really about it. I was like over the moon. I was happy because before I had, when I served, I got really depressed and I felt really anxious and it was really tough for me to maintain stable mental health when I worked hard every day and I got to worry about the order that I have to follow and get on time and always be in my uniform and if there’s something in my uniform that’s not here, so I will get to course and they will be in the base. So the day that I was discharged, I made a little party and the most of the day I was like traveling in my building where I served and gathered some paperwork, some documents and returned my uniform because I had to return it with the belt, boots, the hats and other stuff and I celebrated with my team and so my commanders and we gathered around one little table and I prepared, I brought some snacks, some chocolates, some tasty things and some drinks like cola and sprite and other things and we actually had a really great time. First of all they talked about me, each one of them said something cute about me, something that they think about me and then I was like thank you all, thank you all that you were my team, I was really excited and I see everyone like thank you and we say good bye and then I went home and I was really happy that I finally was done with this chapter in my life.

The day I was very happy was the day I got discharged from the army, and I was really excited about it. I was over the moon. I was happy because, during my service, I had become really depressed and felt anxious. It was tough for me to maintain stable mental health while working hard every day. I had to worry about the orders I had to follow, be on time, and always be in my uniform. If there was something wrong with my uniform, I would get in trouble, and that added to the stress. So, the day I was discharged, I had a little party. Most of the day, I was traveling around the building where I served, gathering paperwork and documents, and returning my uniform. I had to return it along with the belt, boots, hats, and other items. I celebrated with my team and my commanders. We gathered around a small table, and I brought some snacks, chocolates, tasty treats, and drinks like cola and Sprite. We actually had a great time. First, they talked about me; each one of them said something nice about me, something they thought about me. I was really touched and thanked them all for being my team. I was really excited, and I looked at everyone and said thank you. We said our goodbyes, and then I went home. I was really happy that I had finally closed this chapter in my life.
