00:00.009 --> 00:01.953
Decided to join the army because I

00:01.953 --> 00:03.953
lived in New York and in New York ,

00:03.953 --> 00:06.120
they usually asked for a lot of things

00:06.120 --> 00:08.231
and the army just seemed like a great

00:08.231 --> 00:10.659
fit for me . At that time , I got

00:10.670 --> 00:12.448
completely lucky as a paralegal

00:12.448 --> 00:14.559
specialist since I chosen by random .

00:14.559 --> 00:16.226
And I just became a paralegal

00:16.226 --> 00:18.392
specialist . I'm Ecuadorian . And when

00:18.399 --> 00:20.621
I was just born , I was born here , but

00:20.621 --> 00:22.677
my mom just took me straight back to

00:22.677 --> 00:24.843
Ecuador and that pretty much developed

00:24.843 --> 00:26.955
little of who I am . It feels great .

00:26.955 --> 00:29.010
So it just feels like I'm not lonely

00:29.010 --> 00:31.177
here or alone in this big army that we

00:31.177 --> 00:34.929
are , uh just feels , feels like you

00:34.938 --> 00:37.160
can meet more yourself . There's plenty

00:37.160 --> 00:39.049
of people here who are completely

00:39.049 --> 00:41.216
different cultures and just completely

00:41.216 --> 00:43.438
nice . Of course , uh there's , there's

00:43.438 --> 00:45.438

00:47.549 --> 00:49.605

00:49.605 --> 00:51.716
experience of other cultures or other

00:51.716 --> 00:53.716
