But I quit everything in my life. I copied through school. I wanted to prove people wrong. And so here I am in this Air Force program, starting to get a little more confidence. But this water was kicking my ass. And six weeks into the program, the doctor gave me a blood test. And what was that? Sickle cell. Sickle cell trait, not the anemia. But it still killed people. So they pulled me out of training for a week. And when you go from being very uncomfortable in that water situation, and then now you're comfortable and I'm sitting back watching the guys drown, because I'm not part of the activities anymore for this week, I didn't want to get back in that damn water again. So the fear overcame me. And all my insecurities from my dad, from this small town, from everything started coming back. And even though no one knew how fucked up I was, kind of created this other person who was tough, I lived with this shit all the time.
