I applaud you for making a start on this.
A good beginning and one that has enough points of interest to make the reader want to read on.
It will be interesting to see how you go with this and to learn about your life.
Stick with it and good luck.

    Thank you Alex. I must admit that one of my sources of inspiration is a cousin of mine, Carlotta Walls-Lanier. She is one of the "Little Rock Nine", the nine African American students who integrated Central High School In Little Rock Arkansas. Once I read her story, I felt that I had to tell my story and she encouraged me to do so.

I enjoyed this introduction to your biography. It is a great way to start writing. All the scenes are right there.
I wish you luck in this endeavor.
You're off to a good start.

    Wow! Thanks Michael, with this kind of encouragement, I don't dare not go through with it now. One of my biggest concerns wa that I would not be up to seeing it through. I have to now. Thanks a lot, I think. LOL.

You definitely have my interest.
However it does not read like a final draft.
I would suggest one reread by you and some punctuation improvements.
Also it is a very short chapter.
It might be better as an introduction.
I love that it is clearly written with heart.
You have a story to tell. I can absolutely relate to that.
I look forward to the following chapters

    I thank you for your critique. Admittedly, this is my very first attempt at this type of writing as I am first and foremost a poet. I truly believe that I have a story to tell that will be of wide interest, but I am a total novice at this, so I do expect to make some mistakes. It will be of great benefit to me to receive helpful hints and bits of instruction from authors like you to help me produce a work that will honor all who contribute to my success.

Very good choice; no forty mile marches. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is good imagery.

    Thank you Charlie. I am fairly new at telling my own story to a public that is not always kind. I appreciate your kindness.

    Read the book, "What you think of me is none of my business."

What a wonderful start to a book about your life. It's so good to be able to do that. I write fiction because I have trouble telling about myself. It's hard to put yourself out there. Good luck with the book,
Rhonda

    Thank you Rhonda, this is a story that I have wanted to tell for so long. I hesitated because many people I do not know will possibly read it and I don't know what they will think.

    You'll get used to it, but watch for hurt feelings when people tell their opinions! I'm glad you're doing it!

This should be interesting. You have set everything up to let us know why you went Air Force instead of Army. I'm looking forward to reading more of your story.
