A Man On Many Missions

<p>Belonging to a segregated underprivileged rural but blessed community I grew up with what I had. Playing in the mud climbing trees and building toys with tree branches was how I spent my childhood with my friends. Coming from an illiterate background did not stop me from becoming the first person in my family to graduate college. I soon left my father's farm to fulfill my dream of becoming a pilot.
