Growing up in a military household has never been ideal, consistency rarely occurs. My father, soon retiring after 30 years, loves his country and I have never known him not serving. As a child, I didn't have the luxury of my worries being focused solely on school. My mind always wandered to him. Being a military child, I learned to be self sufficient; I hold myself accountable for my work. Education easily my top priority and I wouldn’t be myself without it. Knowledge provides confidence to pursue anything. Without a solid education options can be limited and I will continue upwards.
My father has completed many deployments for various time lengths. Obviously a hardship for anyone; now add that after 9/11, my mom spent hours helping families.
