My name is John Smith and I was born on the twenty second day of the eleventh month in the year 1974. I was born in the Royal Inland Hospital located in the city of Kamloops British Columbia. I was the fourth and last addition of children to my parents and we lived in the south west outskirts of Kamloops. I spent allot of my time in the wilderness, as there were no stores in that area. I remember when I was four years old my uncle asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and my answer was a quick "Army". I did not know what there was to do in the army nor did I have any direct family influence at that time. I spent the rest of my time growing up like everyone else going through teenaged hood as well as puberty hood. By the time I hit 16 I had got my driver’s licence. What a fantastic thing to have, especially considering the past years of having to walk or ride a bicycle whenever I wanted to go into town. In my eleventh year of high school I was part of a program called "The Resource Management Program" this program was to introduce high school students to ideas of spending the rest of our education with the ministry of forests or to become biologists in fisheries or some stuff like that. Anyway the most memorable part of this program was a Co-op job I had with Ducks Unlimited. The job description went like this, drive around in the surrounding forest district with hand written directions to different lakes. These lakes are homes to manufactured duck nests that were placed just under a decade earlier. What a great job. The good stuff about this job, I was issued with a pickup (Chevrolet S10), a gas station card, and a ladder. I was to take these tools to find these lakes that had roads which all changed from recent logging, I was to rewrite the directions to the lakes so that this booklet of information was updated. I basically spent my one month time off road-ing throughout the day. My next job I had that involved driving was a delivery driver for anything....
