 You can't look at it as if it was a last resort for me because I think there were other options. I just didn't understand the options available to me. But this gave me an out. It gave me a way to really get out of the town and the environment that I was in at the time. And it showed me what life could be like outside of the state of Maryland. So going to basic training was the first time that I had ever gotten on a plane.
