Cristian Hernandez, a 2019 Detroit High School graduate. recently signed with the U.S. Marine Corps.
“The reason I decided to join was that I was tired of not pushing myself,” he said. “I would always put myself in a bubble and not do anything that made me feel uncomfortable. I want to work for this and start embracing the feelings of pain and uncomfortably. I know I can reach my goal and It’s all about keeping a strong mentally and to excel beyond what I think my limits are.”
Hernandez will be leaving for bootcamp in March.
“I will strive for my best and with the help of God I will achieve the dream of becoming a United States Marine,” he added.
