It's nice that she's become an entrepreneur at such an early age. I wish I would've gotten started off early like her because I wouldn't have joined the military. Farrah Gray is another amazing story about young entrepreneurs. Anyone heard of him?
It's a great story on how youngins can overcome any obstacle regardless of how it comes at you in life to achieve your goals.
I know what its about, but I choose not to spend time reading another person's book on trying to help myself, because he did it, when I have the aspirations in myself to do what I choose for my future.
Believer it or not, I've overcame many obstacles, I've been through things people 20 years older than I may never have to worry about in their life. I just choose not to read any self help type of books at this point in time, maybe later in the future.
But thanks for your insight/input.

Hm. What works for someone else might not work for you. I hear that.

I bet you get this question A LOT...but I can't help but be inquisitive. Why are you in the military? Oh, and who are you with? Air Force, Marines, Navy...?

I joined the military to get away for one and it's cheaper for school unless you fail a class or two of course. Everyone has their own reasons and i'm in the Air Force by the way.
I hear that response a great deal (No one ever says they join the military just for sh*ts and giggles). Is financial aid THAT hard to come by nowadays? I would ask if you liked it, but being in the military would almost require some level of tolerance. But I'm just speculating here.

I never do anything just for sh*ts and giggles, pie. Everything has to have a purpose for me to go after it. Naw, it's not. I just wanted to get outta VA and my first supervisor when I joined the AF hipped me to taking classes. I was away for the first time in my life and I didn't buckle down early but it's never too late. Yeah, I like it because i've gained some experience and my job requires that I have a security clearance which is definitely a plus working for a civilian company that requires it.

Oh, I was just being rather facetious with the sh*ts and giggles comment. I figure just about anything is done with a particular purpose in mind. As for the benefits, I heard that many times over, but I personally would rather commit seppuku than to join the military. But hey, to every man his own.
