The reason I am writing this blog is to present the members of my community with ideas I have. I am really writing this to try and explore some ideas and grow up a little bit while I write these. Growing up in a military family I have been raised a lot by my mother. I love playing sports and I try to stay involved in my fitness. My dad was deployed a lot while I was growing up, but is still a big part of my life. My brothers and I are experts on our community because we were raised in it. Every day we lived it, and now that we have grown up I am trying to understand how that life has changed me, for better or worse. Over the next few months I will try and understand what has made me into the man I am today, and grow a little bit.
