Conversation 56 (Patrick)

Patrick was born in Jamaica and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He was living in Alaska and serving as a member of the United States Air Force at the time of his interview. He spent his days “[waking] up at 5 o’clock in the morning, going to work at two jobs, coming home…this winter, I want to get into doing some ice-fishing and trying snowboarding.” Patrick’s Most Likely To Is: "Most Likely To Settle Down and Start a Family" We spoke about how starting a family helped him adjust to life in a new setting, and how being married has affected his friendships. Patrick explained how he balances his family identity with his military identity, and he talked about the biggest misconception he sees in civilians’ view of the military. He went on to reflect on his path of personal growth over the past few years, and shared some of the hopes he has for his son. ---------------------------------------- Intro Theme Music: Chega Para Mim by AbJo See photos of our guests, and pick up your copy of the companion book at https://classofhc.com/ep56-patrick/ Join the conversation on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Nd2H1C and on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Z4jPgg Thanks for listening!
