My first job out of university was in the military at a time when visible minorities were fairly rare. I struggled with basic training and my final field test was a make or break for me. I was assigned a super-easy assignment and thereby was able to graduate. While I went on to do well in my remaining military time, that doubt remained about whether or not I truly passed basic training on my merits.Amlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189322060664903779noreply@blogger.com
