I’ve certainly been tested in ways I never would have thought were possible, and there’s certainly been some bumps along the road, but I’ve come out of it all far stronger than I was going in. I owe most of that to the community I’ve found within the Corps. I’m glad to have joined the Corps. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without it,” Caleb says.

He is doing his best to stay positive during these challenging times and knows that the challenges he is facing now will prepare him to lead others well in the future – especially during difficult times.
