 So yeah, that was the plan all the way up until I was a senior in high school. Filled out all the applications, got accepted into an elementary education program. In the summer that I had graduated, my brother, who was a year older than me and was already in college, and then my sister, who's a year and a half younger, and an Army recruiter happened to stop by. He kind of told us, you know, about the opportunities that we would experience.
