Chapter 10 - The Person Who Saw Me First
The name surprised me.
Someone from my past.
Someone who noticed my potential before my own family did.
The realization was strange.
Because sometimes strangers see us more clearly than people closest to us.
General Hale explained that my father’s opinion never changed my path.
Neither did anyone else’s.
The work spoke for itself.
Then I opened the envelope.
Inside was a recommendation.
Not from family.
Not from friends.
From leaders who had watched my decisions.
I read every word.
And felt something I rarely allowed myself.
Pride.
Not arrogance.
Pride.
Then my phone rang.
General Hale answered.
Her expression changed.
Something had happened.
