Before the program I was just a kid, graduated from high school, and working two part-time jobs. I worked at a grocery store and a bank when my friend, Don Reist stopped by to invite me to go to Europe in a cattle boat. I could not say no and I accepted the offer. That decision changed my life a lot.
