Hi there, my name is Jose Lopez and i come from a small town just a couple minutes from Porterville and Visalia. The town is called Lindsay and it's located in the Central Valley. My family is supportive and always leads me on the right track to success. They never let me fail at anything and always push me to accomplish what i want to accomplish. Next year i will be entering the United States Marine corps. I will be doing infantry as my Marine Corps career. I am thinking about taking classes during my time in the marines to better my education and have a degree so if i decide to exit the Marines i will have a career waiting for me. I believe i am mentally and physically ready for the next step in life. I have my mentality focused on succeeding in life and doing the best i can. If i could do anything i would become a Navy Seal. The elite of the elite and that mentality and physical aspect of the training is over the top of what any normal day civilian can do. Only about 1% of all americans have the courage, mentality, and physical aspect it takes to join the military.
