Description
I had stepped out of the arena in 1995...and locked away the memories of a battle deep inside my heart. Eight years later, a small boy entered into my life and with him the key. The sights, the sounds, the questions of a child forced me to relive the battle...to understand it more clearly...and to unlock what I would ultimately share with others. This is a true story of my life as a Plebe at the United States Naval Academy. It is written as a series of flashbacks that occurred as I stepped back into the arena-as a civilian and with my four-year-old nephew at my side. I never intended to write this story, and I am hoping that the purpose for it will be revealed. Maybe it is simply to give an outsider, a glimpse into; to thank those who have gone before or to encourage those who may soon follow. All that I can hope for is that it will inspire you to live your life "In the Arena."
