Why She is an Expert:
I really enjoy talking to people; I used to do public speaking. My expertise is in nursing, counseling and social work, but I am passionate about volunteerism. I try to use my medical background to offer advice on different topics.

Best Advice:
I would suggest that they attend college and get degrees; otherwise they might have to enter the military as an officer. Once they have begun attending an institute of higher learning, they should enroll in the junior air force or navy ROTC program. The military academy will pay for a person’s education depending on the amount of service they owe the government.
