About Yourself
|
|
Well, let's see, where to start?
First of all, I am an Army Veteran (75th Ranger Rgt,3rd Bn.) and a father of two.(My two proudest achievements in life so far.)
I come from a very humble background and I am no one special. I don't have a wall of achievements to boast about and I did not graduate from a high profile university or college with business degrees and stuff like that.
I grew up in the streets of some pretty bad places and I have made some horrible mistakes in my life. I have been through and back and back to again. I know what it's like to live in luxury and also in the cold streets of Camden, NJ.
I grew up on welfare until I was about 12. That's when my mother got her hair dresser's license and got off of welfare. My father had a gambling addiction and spent every dime he made at either the race tracks or casinos, so I learned at an early age how to take care of myself and my mother. My father is a great man and I love him and my mother both very much, but we all have our vices, whether we admit them openly or keep them locked up safe in our closets.
When I turned 16, I had just had enough of the streets and so I joined the Army in hopes of making a better life for myself.
I served my country with pride and after 8 years I ended my career.
I got married hastily and that did not last long, only about 6 years.
So here I am a single father raising two beautiful girls.
Now, I know that we all have dreams of being millionaires but my biggest dream is to see my girls live a life filled the opportunities that I never had growing up. I want to make sure that their lives are filled with hope and not the despair such as I endured growing up.
I am here trying to get my own business started so I can make a change in this world. If I had the millions of dollars that I dream of having one day, I would most certainly use it to take care of my family first and then fullfill my sense of purpose by helping others like me that grew up and that are growing up less fortunate.
I am not here to sell anybody on false promises and take their money on programs that are fly by night and will not make it in the future.
I am an honest person and anyone who meets me will know that from the sincerity that makes me who I am.
I am a spiritual person and I hold many beliefs on a variety of topics. I consider myself to be pretty intelligent and I have an unquenching thirst for knowledge.
I want to learn all that I can. But I don't want to be like the story that has been told of the man who was locked away and only allowed books to read. See, after he gained so much knowledge about the world through his reading, when his captors finally decided that it was time to release him back into the world, he decided that there was so much ugliness in it that he was better off staying in his cell and he didn't want to leave.
I believe that even though we see the horrors everyday on the news and around us, that there is a beautiful world all around us and that our fellow men and women are all blessings from a higher existence.
Since this is the ABOUT ME section, I figured for the first time that I would open the doors and allow you into my home which is my heart.
If there is anything that you would like to know about me then just ask, I will always give you an honest answer. As I said, I am a humble person.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and feel free to say "Hello" sometime, I will always respond.
Take Care and God Bless,
Cliff
