At the age of seven, I started on a journey down a path I never knew I wanted to take. Along the way, I made friends, went on adventures, met some interesting people, and earned badges for various ranks. What I didn't expect was how this journey would shape me to this very day. It started out as a fun time with friends, camping, and lighting campfires. It would become something much more that would take me thirty years to realize exactly what I had accomplished. The road I traveled wasn't easy. There were plenty of obstacles but along the way, I found myself and achieved something special. What follows is the story of that journey of me "Becoming an Eagle Scout."
