This book outlines the story of a 20th Century African American Female Soldier's journey through the United States Army. She held her tongue often. She gracefully bowed out of confrontational situations. She was often depressed, and struggled with anxiety. She explains how she overcame challenges and obstacles over a course of 23 years of service in the military. Through it all, she began to understand her purpose in the Army and in leadership. In retrospect, she started out at the Private First Class (PFC) rank and became a Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) with a Ph.D. Whatever you want to accomplish is possible. Challenges and obstacles may come, but they do not determine your outcome. If a challenge or obstacle exists, then so should your determination. The color of your skin is not a setback. Your gender is not a setback. Where you grew up is not a setback. Your family's status in the community, or lack thereof, is not a setback. Your level of education is not a setback. Your disability is not a setback. Whatever you deemed a setback, obstacle, or challenge, God meant for your good. That is what makes your accomplishments so great in the end. Her story is meant to inspire the next generation of leaders everywhere. She had been too humble too long!
