00:01.259 --> 00:03.426
I actually joined the guard because my

00:03.426 --> 00:05.148
mentor told me I was wandering

00:05.148 --> 00:07.370
aimlessly through life without a plan ,

00:07.370 --> 00:09.203
uh , and that this would give me

00:09.203 --> 00:11.315
purpose . So , since I've joined , it

00:11.315 --> 00:13.259
has really given my life purpose ,

00:13.259 --> 00:15.370
direction . Um , every day , I get to

00:15.370 --> 00:17.592
work with tremendous individuals who we

00:17.592 --> 00:19.815
come together to support and defend our

00:19.815 --> 00:21.981
Constitution . And for me , uh , doing

00:21.981 --> 00:23.870
something that's above myself and

00:23.870 --> 00:25.759
giving back , not only just to my

00:25.759 --> 00:27.926
community , but to the world is , uh ,

00:27.926 --> 00:27.799
is why I serve .
