So I made a choice of joining the military as a career path
to explore the world safely and to obtain some level of stability and success
that I so greatly desired. I felt the only hurdle was me, what did I think
could happen would. I knew I had to take control of my life; I did not want to
end up being a statistic of being a black broke single parent struggling all my
life. I wanted to travel and make money,
I was willing to take whatever risk there was to get there and joining the Army
seemed to fit. Society promoted getting a good college education then a good
job and retiring at an old age. It sounded good however the choice I made to
join the US Army Reserves unknowingly drastically threw a curve ball into my
big dream in the sky.
