    About this ebook

    The words written on these pages are meant to be thought provoking as well as inspiring in some way hopefully in a positive manner. These are times of my young life in Detroit, military life and life in general. There may be some that have had a similar experience. some experiences are of the physical and there are some of the mind. There is some comedy and some heart felt but all are my feelings. 1 hope these words are enjoyable to everyone. Learn everything you can then let your imagination run free. maxwellwilliam722@yahoo.com
