A Determined Spirit

Imagine what you would do if your brother died at a very young age and then your father died just a few years later. What if your family struggled financially for years because your father had no insurance. His death resulted in you having to move and live in a motel near your new high school and you had to buy meals at the local diner because your mother was hundreds of miles away. Further your mother suddenly decided to move you at age fifteen to Germany where you couldn't meet the basic requirements needed to attend school at your grade level. Suppose then you decided to come back to America on your own accord at age sixteen and make your way with no family to support you. What would be your chances of making it on your own let alone achieving success? This is a brief glimpse into Gary Heuer's childhood. Fortunately he did survive. He joined the army and overcame his family and life's challenges. This all happened because his family never prepared for the contingencies of life. There was no insurance no savings and no planning.
