After that, he graduated from college with first-class honors at age 18. That is a lot of work to do back then because
His rhetoric, intelligence, sense of humor and relentless perseverance was far beyond what I have seen. As a result, I wasn’t nearly as terrified as I wouldn’t been without his motivational guidance. But I digress. I was in a militia that consisted of 45 men. Among them, I was the youngest, but I was
