Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
Parents were always sick so I had to put my life on hold and take care of them as well as raise my little brother.
I started working when I was 13 to help my family with food and bills.
No direction so I worked in a lot of different fields including farming and construction.
Joined the military when I was 16 to bring in extra income for my family
Started college that took me longer than most to finish due to the health of my parents and my responsibilities to my family
