I am the One Percent:

The one percent that worked hard in high school because I wanted to go to college
The one percent that worked hard in college earned a scholarship and graduated in four years with my Bachelors Degree
The one percent that continued his education after college and earned a Masters Degree
The one percent that stood in the gap as a US Air Force navigator and served this great nation proudly
The one percent who left the military before I could retire, started all over again (from the bottom) and worked my way to where I am today
The one percent who is a husband and a father; I'll never win father of the year; But I thank God everyday for my wife and children and the determination they give me to press on because I know what I am doing is not for me
The one percent who knows that the only thing that is given to you is God's grace anything else I have to work for it and work to keep it
The one percent if given the chance would not change a thing that has happened to me because it made me who I am today
The one percent who will tell the other 99% to stop whining, stop asking for a hand out, stop saying I deserve this and use the talents that God has given you and make this world a better place for those we leave it to
