Hello my name is Joe Bear Warrior Gonzales. Everyone calls me Bear. I'm a 66 year old Army Veteran who grew up I'm a violent world and I chose early to live the warriors life. Because of my violent surroundings violence and fighting became my drug of choice, but I grew up and transitioned from a violent warrior who protected women, children and the elderly into a peaceful warrior. I now work with at risk youth helping them become better versions of themselves by helping them find out who they really are when all of the masks are off, working on their mindset and helping them prepare for a brighter future than they are seeing for themselves. My fictional character full of confidence is a character that I created in one of my writings. His name is Charlie Thunder Wolf. In the story he spent years as a Green Beret half of it in combat. When he gets out he returns to his reservation and sees hopelessness and helplessness in the youth. He gathers all of the elders and offers to take the youth into the mountains and teach them about life. The elders agree and when the youth arrive he begins teaching them how to survive. He teaches them life skills. The elders teaches them culture, tradition, history, the songs stories etc. The medicine people teaches them about the herbs. When they graduate they are full of pride. They know how to survive off of the land. They have hope, pride and life skills. Charlie Thunder Wolf has three camps a year until his death. When he dies some of the graduates keep the camps going in his memory. Some of the youth ends up going to college and when they return they bring jobs and businesses with them. Model 2 worked better for me.
