What other Job would I have loved to had?

I would have loved to be a career soldier. A military career was my first and only job as a preteen I worked towards and day dreamed about. I would get as many army games and literature I could, from books about military life to wars and such. I remember at age 9 I was reading 3 to 4 novels and series at one time. All on a highschool reading level. I grew up in a Christian foster home that was very strict. There was only movies and no T.V. for us to watch and it was all PG. If it had magic or such then that too was forbidden.

I am grateful today for that restriction and struggle I had to endure as a kid, with everyone at school talking about this or that popular show and Pokemon and what not, then me not having a clue. For it gave me a whole new and wonderful world that was my perfect ancedote and remedy for life and it's brutish circumstances. I was reading Roots and comprehending the implications and and social issues that is entailed into the story even though I had no ethics class until I was in high school.

Back to my dream Job, well the reason I didn't make it to the army like I had planned for and hoped would be my ticket out into the real world where I could find myself and be myself. I was a problem child for my adoptive parents with acute depression and anxiety disorder that caused me to act out at times. I didn't do anything really crazy until I stole the van one night at the age of 13 and ran away from home which it was the dead of winter and I got the van stuck 10 minutes away from the house and the police brought me back. That was my first trip to juvenile hall and boy would it not be the last.

Simple to say that one little incident created a ripple effect that has influenced my whole life from that point until now. Long story short the older I got the more serious the stupid shit it was I did that landed me in trouble, till one time I caught a breaking and entering and grand theft charge. That cost me 3 years of my teenage life. So yeah that's why I couldn't get into the service.

Your record is supposed to be sealed once you turn 18 but it's not really. Not for government jobs. I scored amazingly well on my A.S.V.A.B I could have signed up for anything I wanted to do but I had caught another felony my second trip to Department of Youth Services. It was a aggravated assault so I had 3 altogether. 2 was pushing it 3 was a deal breaker.
