Just busted out the psychology discussion/essay on a Saturday night like a boss. Lmao. No life right now equals great life in the future. For those who dont know or keep up Im getting out if the navy in 6 months. And Im going to college n then medical school to be an orthopedic surgeon. .lets hope I play my cards right. But my driving force is my family. Everyone from grandma down to my little cousins. We may not be the richest...or have any political power...or have huge houses. But We do stick together through thick n thin. Growing I wasnt the easiest kid to deal with. I was always fighting. .hanging out late...doing what ever I wanted...I honestly didnt expect to live past 21..idk I just had no desire. I was just doing all the wrong things. So I joined the navy n set out a new life. I moved away from home..learned a skill. .n went to Iraq and Afghanistan and came back as man. Ive turned my life around do much that people I went to school with probably wouldnt know who I am. Everyone that said I wouldnt last. Guess what...I did. Im going to be a doctor. I will make it. The rodriguez family is resilient and a tight nit group. Ill never forget where I come from. I left for boot camp in 2007 and I had a conversation with my dad a week before I left. He said you go and do good things. Start a new life and dont come back home. There nothing for you here. Itll get hard and youll want to quit. But you stick it out. Ill never forget that conversation. I kissed my sister goodbye. ..that girl is my pride and joy. As we got older mom n dad worked more to put food on the table. So I took over n i taught her everything from riding a bike. .to baseball...to math. My mom...she just wanted me to go to school and do good. I see the opportunities she wasnt given and wanted me to have. I was young and nieve then. And my brothers. .Weve had to krazy times. From fighting each other...to staying out late...yo walking like 20 miles plus cause we didnt have a car n not enough money for the train or bus. And to my extended family I love you guys for always being there even if I did royally screw up on a couple of occasions. To my military family. ..I couldnt have done it without you guys. ..life had dome crazy ups and down for us..but we made it. We gotta keep pushing. One day our kids will read about us in history books and the great battles we fought. To my parent figures..thanks for flapping me upside the head when I made dumb choices about life..career or girls. Im hard headed Im sorry. Samantha Pebbles Rodriguez I love you kiddo. Im sorry I had to go n join the military when you needed me the most. I had to. If I didnt I dont know if Id still be here..or if you would have gone to the school you went to. .it have the car or things you have now. I know you get mad n think I left you alone but Im only a phone call ok. To everyone I let down in the past. .Im sorry. I promise well make it. No more struggling. .no more empty refrigerator. .no more empty gas tank..well be ok. Well all love in big houses next to each other. Fernando Rodriguez and Ileana Rodriguez Im sorry for putting you guys through so much. Everything I do in life is to make you guys proud. I dont care what anyone else thinks. I try so hard to make you proud. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you to everyone whose been in my corner. Andrew Demmerle J.q. Stewart Sara Gonzalez Anna Alejandro-Rodriguez Tanya Rodriguez Tiffany Ann Ito Grandpaito Nicole Judith Otero Roberto Rodriguez Angel Rodriguez Ashlee Rodriguez Tricia Corapi .Im pretty sure theres more people but if you guys share this..plz..I just want the family to know.
