so I was raised by my second cousin's which I consider my mom she they raised
me from pretty much day one
I don't know my biology parents at all it kind of clicked when I transitioned
into foster care being transitioned Oscar
I wasn't you know a clueless child i will say i was aware that because it was
my decision I have to say yay or nay to go to prosecute when you can speak and
talk to understand what's going on you have to say your name
I'm going to Oscar you know they actually you know do you understand
what's going on
yes I do
next my mom what am I going to prosecute and that's when Boston why am I in focus
I just learned to understand in my own mind
I thank you there's a certain point
will you learn to
great who you are and you are going to be queen
and I think for me I did it at a young age while some people might grasp that
No
teens there later teens
so again i joined the Marine Corps 2007
reasoning is just experienced war just to get away from the city that lived in
and just go find a sense of just who i am and I thought I felt I would learn
all that marine court
you know level Marines or ten Marines one in three afghan national army
I had my joy marie at the door and I mean holds outer security because i
don't want inside so have internal security and I don't like the setup that
were in so I was like hey I moved them kind of more in the doorway to get more
cover
I'm that we can see everything put up without being vulnerable and I was like
I'll be right back
again this is a hallway narrow hallway and I took three sessions to this room
the ID went off
so
when that happened you know it was kind of a quick alteration of hi beautiful
life is just like it could in now it cannot in now but there was instant
we're growing not necessarily read about we use a regret
I wish I did these certain things in life and i wish i wasnt this time
- I can I wish I did or said these things immediately as I'm laying there
not knowing if I'm going to live or die
yeah
I tell my mom a lot more I feel like I could have told her I loved before
because it wasn't necessarily just like I didn't hurt did it and then like that
nothing in the negative sense just I felt like I could have said a lot more
than what I did and then I think it's just so that was just you know I grew up
very shot just very to myself very introverted and I kind of wish I did a
lot more things and experienced a lot more you know it as I felt when I was
like I was kind of felt like I turned down a lot more to be by myself rather
than experienced a lot for life
so those are the two things i right now that your bread in a sense
yeah
sort of those things no can I tell them on my lover every time I hit talk to her
and then I mean I've done more in my life now that I would have ever done not
being blown up so it's a very like it's a very life altering because this point
i climbed the highest mountain in Antarctica and compete against the
fastest people in the Paralympic on the track I ran a marathon
I've done multiple runs of inspired many people
I done a lot more in the last five years and i did my whole life combined
