And you bet I’ve slept in this car in the freezing cold, snow, blistering heat and everything in between.
Why?
Because I love what I do!
Has it been easy?
Absolutely not!
Have I questioned everything?
1,000 times over, but at the end of the day I pray and Gods been on my side. 

This is year number 3 now. 
My first year was my permit year, not many know but I actually had to go through the process twice in a single year!
My second year was the year I got my card. I traveled thousands of miles alone (with my dog). I laughed, I cried, I almost gave up. I worked as hard as I could, I pushed myself to a goal I didn’t really think I’d achieve. And I did. Come October I got the call among 3 others for NFR. My first year on my card and boy was I was ecstatic! With that came love and hate from people I knew and strangers. Some of those people knew I earned it and others who thought I didn’t. 
I haven’t been handed anything and that’s why I sleep in my car. I started all this from nothing.
And yes, I’m still in my car on year 3 and that’s okay. To me it’s worth it. At the end of the day I’m thankful to do what I do and to the people who have worked with me and helped me along the way.
