No matter what your background or where

00:03.511 --> 00:05.456
you came from , if you came from a

00:05.456 --> 00:08.039
challenged background . Um as I did

00:08.050 --> 00:10.359
where I'll say a childhood that does

00:10.369 --> 00:12.258
not mean you have to stay there .

00:17.200 --> 00:19.979
So how I grew up , uh everything that

00:19.989 --> 00:23.079
you can think of abusive home , a drug

00:23.100 --> 00:26.399
infested home to a verbal , physical ,

00:26.409 --> 00:28.659
emotional abuse that all occurred to me

00:28.670 --> 00:31.469
as a child , you're able to overcome

00:31.479 --> 00:34.310
every obstacle if you lean and trust

00:34.319 --> 00:36.830
and depend on others and uh make sure

00:36.840 --> 00:39.229
you go out and seek help . Your past

00:39.240 --> 00:41.990
does not define who you are here . I am

00:42.000 --> 00:44.369
today in the United States Air Force

00:44.380 --> 00:47.090
arriving where I was barely surviving

00:47.099 --> 00:50.590
as a child . We encourage you by fists .
