Well, here comes the moment I was dreading since the start of this year, my resignation. Now, I have to admit, I didn’t want to leave on this note. I wanted to leave with a reputation that wouldn’t be forgotten, but you get what you do, and I am so happy with what I have achieved. The confidence that I have built from leadership in TRA, and the friends I have made, will be with me all my life. I will always think of TRA in a good way, I will never forget what happiness this brought me.
I remember, on the 15th December 2011. I had only just found TRA, I was an inspired Level One in TRAA(Academy). I went to my first training, I went to Fort. I was a noob, and maybe those times, the memories that are so blurred, were the ones I enjoyed the most. In about March, when I was getting past the noob stage, I began to get active in TRA.
Now, by then I was already a Sergeant. I stayed as a Sergeant for a very long time, and I have to admit – if I had the wisdom I have now, I would have enjoyed those times more. But I had one goal, to reach a higher level, to become more. I got to Captain briefly, and got demoted from a KO reform. After that, I took a break from ROBLOX (forced) for Common Entrance Exams to my College. After passing with very near straight A’s, I became more active again. I earned my way back to Staff Sergeant. I was the first Staff Sergeant ever to be. I do not have solid proof of this, but my own eyes, and I suggest you believe me. I was a happy Staff Sergeant, but wanted to be a Captain again. I got a lucky break. When General MagnaBeast found that I had been demoted, he said to me that he thought my training were really good, and promoted me to Captain again. This was my lucky break, and I made the most of it. I still look up to MagnaBeast to today, he was my role model for a very long time.
I kept holding trainings, and started to get recognised for it. I got mentions in the newsletter, good reviews on the forums, and more reputation and popularity. I wanted to extend this reputation, so I decided to apply for the newsletter. My English skills served me well, and I got a job as a writer, which I have held and enjoyed to this post.
On November 4th, 2012, I came home to find out I had received Major. This was a time in outside life where I was starting to go through lots of hardships, and this boosted me so far, and the fact that I had done this, gave me the confidence to get through many things I may not have.
Now, as a Major, I was not very wise. I was rather irrational, and let others effect me. Now, I could blame this on outside affairs, which would be completely fine to do, as I was having trouble. However, this isn’t a self pity thing, this is my resignation and thank you to TRA, so that’s that. Also, growing up, hormones, that sort of thing. :P
Now, by the start of the Easter term, I thought I was ready for Elites and MP. I had an Elites test, being able to get an Elites recommendation from XDepicnathan, and others to recognise me. I’ll be perfectly honest and say I failed this miserably. The pressure got to me – it was evident I was not ready.
For a short while, this got me depressed. This is where I bring in my friends, thorhayes and dfdmullally. It’s unfair I haven’t mentioned these guys so far. Thor was the one who got me to make an account on ROBLOX, and dfd is my best friend on this game. They help me get through every low I had, and my gratitude will forever be with them for how they have helped me. I am going to repay them, some day.
I decided I would practice, and re-earn my Elites recommendations. I went to SFOTH original, to improve my Sword-Fighting skills, which I still think are top-notch. I practice my gun-fighting skills at Paintball and Call of Robloxia. A month later, I re-earned my recommendations for Elites, mainly due to 12mophead and Mlv10, and the others who were there at the time where you were all testing me, :D. I got tested by leopluradon11, and passed. I got 9.3/10 in Discipline, Listening and etc... 8.9/10 (I think) in Sword-Fighting, and 8.5/10 in Gun-Fighting. I was proud for getting Elites, and this gave me great confidence.
Now, between then and the end of the Easter holidays, I got ultra active. On every night, patrolling base, holding trainings. I had a few wobbly moments, but my friends got me through that. By the end of the Easter term, I had earned many new friends and a reputation I am proud of still.
Believe it or not, I got MP because of this! On that Saturday, my goals were achieved, and I was very happy, but dreading something at the same time. My goals were met, and I knew that this time would be upon me very soon. However, I went merrily on my way, until I looked back at what I sacrificed on outside life, to achieve this. I still feel ashamed, I am sorry to say.
After that, I spent the whole Easter holidays becoming uber-active in Elites. I was training for the FB with RAT! I knew I had a minimal chance of getting in, but my skills improved greatly, and the incentive of a reform kept me going. Sure enough, I didn’t participate in the FB, but I was one out of eleven Elite soldiers. I had survived. Then, again, I looked back. All the stuff I had wanted to do? Down the drain. I knew then, even without the word that came from my Dad, it was game over.
Now, in the main Summer season, I am planning to play Cricket, and greatly improve my game. My time spent on here will be improving my new group, called Zyrox. My aim is that one day we can be Allies with TRA, and I can help TRA once more. Also, I have my life to think about. I want to be a computer programmer, it’s time I actually worked on that, I think.
Rounding things off, this did take my whole evening to write, and it’s actually quite brief. This isn't phoney, I won’t join back straight away. Yes, I will have that gut-wrenching feeling on my heart when I force myself to click, ‘Leave Group’. I have experienced this before, it wasn't pleasant. This will be even harder, but I am going to do this. It’s the right thing, I have to. Sorry to all the expectations of me becoming a High Rank, but I would never have the time. I have helped TRA in these past few months, and with a bit more work, I can see us becoming the leading power of ROBLOX. I might come to base as a Visitor sometimes, I will keep in touch with everyone. It’s just time, it’s for the better. I don’t have time to hold trainings, or go to base. There are other people, ready for MP. Me leaving will give them the chance. So, I won’t babble on anymore, that’s it. Now, it’s time for the individual goodbyes. I am afraid, I have so many friends. I will try and limit this to as few people as possible. If you want to know what I think of you, leave a reply in the comments section, I will be happy to reply. Goodbye, guys.

Common Entrance is hard for the age you sit it, so GJ on getting near straight A's.
Also, Good Luck in your future ventures, Eski - try and keep in contact with some of us, k?
Finally, I have to admit, you were a real leader and trainer. Already on the TRA wall people have become saddened, yet accepted, of your resignation. |

Thank you Dr, that means lots to me. I will definitely keep in touch with you guys. I will offer advice and help when needed, and my goal is to get my group, Zyrox, allies with TRA.
I tried my hardest with trainings, I did it not for myself, but for TRA.
