‘Now I know how great I could be in the future’
Robert Mejia was a hospital corpsman in the Navy, which led to him wanting to enter the medical field.
“I was 18 and wanted to get out of the house, but I didn’t have any money. So I joined the military and was in the Navy for a few years. They try to change a boy into a man. I learned a lot about myself: my physical limits, my emotional limits, my mental limits. It was definitely worth it.”
What’s the biggest lesson you learned?
“What I can accomplish. Personally, how easy everything else in the world is. Like nothing was ever really challenging for me. Now I know how much more I’m capable of accomplishing and how great I could be in the future. It’s just getting there.”
