00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:10,096
I like to share my story with others 

3
00:00:10,096 --> 00:00:13,630
because I get the opportunity to help , 

4
00:00:13,670 --> 00:00:17,170
to educate . Um each time that I share 

5
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:19,380
my story , it gets a little bit easier 

6
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:21,710
to talk about to live through and do 

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,200
and just be my drama and to really 

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,256
connect with the Air Force again , I 

9
00:00:27,256 --> 00:00:29,970
find that my story has been able to 

10
00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:33,780
reach certain audiences of people that 

11
00:00:33,790 --> 00:00:36,010
may need help or people that have been 

12
00:00:36,010 --> 00:00:38,121
suffering for years that finally will 

13
00:00:38,121 --> 00:00:40,232
come forward and seek company telling 

14
00:00:40,232 --> 00:00:42,343
my story , especially after the first 

15
00:00:42,343 --> 00:00:46,230
time is something that helps me process 

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,407
what I've been through and it's helped 

17
00:00:48,407 --> 00:00:50,629
me on my road to recovery . I think the 

18
00:00:50,629 --> 00:00:52,851
relationships that I've built both with 

19
00:00:52,851 --> 00:00:54,796
other warriors and people I've met 

20
00:00:54,796 --> 00:00:56,907
through my speaking events has really 

21
00:00:56,907 --> 00:00:58,851
opened doors and I've created some 

22
00:00:58,851 --> 00:01:00,851
incredible friendships and met some 

23
00:01:00,851 --> 00:01:03,018
incredible people . I enjoy sharing my 

24
00:01:03,018 --> 00:01:05,240
story because I realized that there's a 

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,907
lot of other people can learn 

26
00:01:06,907 --> 00:01:10,050
regardless if I feel that I have told 

27
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:13,400
it a million times . Sometimes every 

28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,790
different group is different and if 

29
00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:18,012
somebody can take something from what I 

30
00:01:18,012 --> 00:01:20,179
have to say , or even if it's not even 

31
00:01:20,179 --> 00:01:22,123
my particular story , but what I'm 

32
00:01:22,123 --> 00:01:24,179
saying about a F . W . Two , uh then 

33
00:01:24,179 --> 00:01:26,290
it's a win for the program and it's a 

34
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:28,457
win for our future . Thank you for all 

35
00:01:28,457 --> 00:01:30,679
the opportunities you have given me all 

36
00:01:30,679 --> 00:01:32,970
the people you have given me and just 

37
00:01:32,980 --> 00:01:36,830
showing me the love that I um so I 

38
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:39,040
missed . You gave me a family and 

39
00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:41,890
friends and um lots and lots of 

40
00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:42,560
memories
