00:00.000 --> 00:02.583
(techno music)

00:03.930 --> 00:06.440
- I'm eighteen and in
order to be a state trooper

00:06.440 --> 00:08.120
and stay afloat you gotta be 21.

00:08.120 --> 00:11.520
And so I'm like, do
three years in the army,

00:11.520 --> 00:13.820
get out and become a state trooper.

00:13.820 --> 00:15.930
But three years came

00:15.930 --> 00:18.790
and I still was excited
about being in the army

00:18.790 --> 00:19.623
and I loved it.

00:19.623 --> 00:22.058
So I just re-enlisted for more time

00:22.058 --> 00:24.973
and twenty years later, I'm still here.

00:26.990 --> 00:30.230
I guess you might say
I'm a renaissance person

00:30.230 --> 00:32.150
and I'm very diverse in my hobbies.

00:32.150 --> 00:36.480
I love anywhere from cooking to shopping.

00:36.480 --> 00:38.170
I'm apart of a car club.

00:38.170 --> 00:39.740
I love music.

00:39.740 --> 00:40.780
I love to work out

00:40.780 --> 00:43.760
and I've just found a
passion from running.

00:43.760 --> 00:46.430
I've participated in
over five half marathons

00:46.430 --> 00:49.290
just in the last three months.

00:49.290 --> 00:52.023
I'm part of an elite run
group called Half Fanatics.

00:55.440 --> 00:59.300
I have a very flamboyant personality

00:59.300 --> 01:01.520
so I'm very open with my shopping.

01:01.520 --> 01:04.913
So I love socks. I wear
a lot of crazy socks.

01:05.940 --> 01:07.990
I guess I take pride in my appearance

01:07.990 --> 01:12.990
so I'm known to be the best
dresser wherever I'm at.

01:13.090 --> 01:15.423
So, other than wearing the uniform.

01:15.423 --> 01:17.756
(pop music)

01:19.510 --> 01:20.343
When I put these two together

01:20.343 --> 01:22.810
because it's getting ready
to become summer time.

01:22.810 --> 01:25.230
And I love loud colors.

01:25.230 --> 01:27.390
It kinda goes good with my skin

01:27.390 --> 01:30.331
as well it draws attention to my outfit.

01:30.331 --> 01:32.550
(pop music)

01:32.550 --> 01:34.520
You know, the traditional Jordan shoes.

01:34.520 --> 01:39.050
I love a lot of casual shoes
because I feel like you

01:39.050 --> 01:42.520
have to be able to have that
diversity in your fashion.

01:42.520 --> 01:45.140
So I do have a lot of
casual shoes as well.

01:45.140 --> 01:47.830
The reason I want to come
record because, in the army,

01:47.830 --> 01:51.280
as far as direction and
giving me opportunities

01:51.280 --> 01:56.190
to expand my talents.

01:56.190 --> 01:58.410
As far as being a people person

01:58.410 --> 02:01.770
and also, employ others
to want to join the army.

02:01.770 --> 02:04.453
And so I looked at that
as a great opportunity.

02:05.410 --> 02:09.310
When I was kid my mom always
had us doing volunteer work

02:09.310 --> 02:13.330
and she was a great advocate
for helping people in need.

02:13.330 --> 02:15.750
She was very take her shirt
of her back and give it to

02:15.750 --> 02:16.583
someone if they need it.

02:16.583 --> 02:19.120
So I think that's
something I took from her

02:19.120 --> 02:22.110
and I just incorporate in my lifestyle.

02:22.110 --> 02:23.973
I just love to work at Jesus House.

02:24.960 --> 02:26.720
Where you work in the
homeless on the weekend,

02:26.720 --> 02:29.080
on the streets, downtown Oklahoma City.

02:29.080 --> 02:31.530
As well as, Habitat for
Humanity, help building homes

02:31.530 --> 02:35.190
and restoring homes for
people in the community.

02:35.190 --> 02:37.500
Seventeen. She lives in Georgia.

02:37.500 --> 02:39.870
She's in the ROTC program.

02:39.870 --> 02:42.300
She does have a goal to join the army

02:42.300 --> 02:44.390
when she does graduate high
school and to the reserve.

02:44.390 --> 02:46.600
And this and go to
college at the same time.

02:46.600 --> 02:48.230
Serve her country part-time.

02:48.230 --> 02:50.020
I am a recruiter so I'm out here

02:50.020 --> 02:52.150
encouraging other people kids

02:52.150 --> 02:54.823
to want to follow in my
footsteps so why not my own.
