People always said that I couldn't make it and that I was going to be like all the other mistakes in my family. I grew up in foster homes my whole life and moved from home to home every 2 or 3 months. I had no one. I couldn't rely on anything. My life was sh-t. Then I saw a Marine recruiter and I knew that joining the Marines would change my life. I'm so proud to be a Marine and it is something in my life that I would never change, and I thank GOD for all the mistakes in my life because I would not be where I am today. Semper Fi, Do or Die!
