Therefore, he enlisted in the armed services after completing high school in hopes of finding his purpose in life.

About the Author

Nothing about my life seems worthy enough to discuss in depth as most autobiographical works are and my experiences probably aren’t any different than the next man. Yet, still; I feel as though it is necessary to depict my experiences in an effort to educate, if only a single young man or woman, about the importance of understanding their purpose. I am neither a teacher nor scholar, instead, I am proof. Proof that dreams do come true, but only for those who dare to go the distance in following them. When you follow your dreams; you will find your purpose.
