Talk About "Shell-Shock"! Two Nights Ago,Adam Was Living in a Tent

Talk about "shell-shock"! Two nights ago,Adam was living in a tent with thirty other Marines in the hills of Afghanistan.Today he is waking up to the smell of fresh linen,in a king-sized bed,in his very own room in DeKalb,Illinois.Three days ago,his first priority was the welfare of his battle buddies.This morning,his first priority (according to his family)is not wasting anytime and getting back into college.Although he has always believed in the importance of school and the respect that comes with achieving a degree,right now he is not quite in the frame of mind.His first desire is to spend time renewing old friendships,including organizing a couple of float trips and ball game nights with the group of friends he left behind.According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs,Adam has a strong desire to satisfy his self-esteem needs.
