Got out of the Navy with no place to live, a GED, $18 in my bank account, and NO GI bill.
Started working 50+ hours per week and attended night school for 17 years.
First 10 years went every semester; Spring, summer, fall and winter.
Last 7 years just spring and fall.
All that hard work paid off.
Now i work 40 hours per week to the second.
I will knock my grandmother over if she is between me and the door at 4pm.
