He went on to graduate high school, and felt lost, had no idea where to go. He received scholarship offers to a few Universities (Ohio State, Michigan State) which he decided to decline the opportunity. His mother was a single mother, and he wanted to focus more on being a provider, and knew College would be an added expense. He then moved in Crystal to his mothers home, where they then married and began to make future plans. It was not until a year later when they had their first child Walter Lee Salazar. He tried to make ends meet, but it was just never enough to prosper, a few weeks of cash advances, and odd jobs/overtime they realized they needed to do better to provide for their future. They both came together and created a gameplan, Baltazar took a job performing pest control services, something he had never considered. Crystal took a job in property management, where she quickly climbed the ranks. Baltazar worked at this company for quite a few years, he genuinely enjoyed what he did, and helping people in need. He helped introduce people who were "not hirable" into events where they could provide for their families as well. He made pest control fun. Unfortunately sometimes you learn the unfortunate lesson, not everyone is on your same side. One of the people he helped find employment, sabotaged his career, and made cowardly attempts to Baltazar's reputation. From one day to the next, Baltazar found himself for the first time in his life, where he had been terminated, this was a new feeling of sorrow, disappointment, feeling betrayed. Not knowing who to trust, or who to believe. He took some jobs to help compensate with the bills, and expenses of life, but he could not find personal happiness like he did previously. He spoke with his wife and they came up with the idea to do what he was most passionate about, killing bugs, and helping people. Baltazar took the state exam in Apopka through the University of Florida, where he Aced his Pest control exam with the score of 94. He then received the results a few days later, and found joy again! He began to search for a vehicle that he could use to perform these services, they found an out of commissioned Terminex truck. In Texas, he purchased a one way flight to Texas, not knowing the condition of this vehicle. Excited, impatient, nervous, he saw the truck for the first time in person, it was perfect, all 265k miles of her, each and every dent a different story, for Baltazar knew all too well what the service truck had been through, together they hit the road, he noticed the truck needed fuel, so he stopped at the nearest gas station, and filled her up for her trip to Florida.
