Why Have You Ever Extinguished Car Fire?

Have you ever extinguished car fire before? As a child, I always loved to help people in whatever way I could. It all began when my grandmother purchased me a doctor set; I would go around the house using the stethoscope to listen to people’s hearts. When I was little I remember trying to help my cousin Matt feel better by cooking him soup, tucking him in bed ,and just being there for him for anything he needed. At this time I was only six years old, but I knew I wanted to make a difference.

My Mother and Grandmother knew I acquired a heart of gold. When I grew older, less opportunity originated for myself to help people, however i craved it so much, therefore it made me fed up and agitated. My grades started descending during middle school …show more content…
Finally my chance came again, by joining the junior firefighters. I applied and they took me with open arms. I finally moved out of my mothers with a valid restraining order and moved into my father’s apartment. However, after I turned 17 I was eligible to join the fire company, so I did. I was finally able to help people even more by going on calls. At this point in my life, it was the best decision I ever made for myself. Joining the Company and moving into my Father’s home. My first call was a motor vehicle accident in the parking lot of a nursing home. One truck was speeding through to get to the exit as the other sedan was pulling out of a spot. There were a total of 3 patients. I was able to stabilize one car with chalks. Then I put a cervical collar on one of the patients. He was very grateful we were there and helped. After 5 months we had even more calls. I was able to help people more and more, whether being from obtaining a cat out of a tree for a little old lady or going onto a burning mansion and pulling out a 10 year old boy I did what I could and it made me feel prodigious. Every day that went on I became more determined to serve, as I did my grades also …show more content…
I completed the fire academy and I was half way finished with EMT school. Everything was playing out perfectly. Till this day I still remember that first call I had. When I’m feeling down, upset, or straying away from my main purpose I go back to my first fire call and let those emotions sink in again. My purpose here is to help as many people as I can until I’m no longer here. The feeling after helping people and knowing you’re making a difference in their life is the best feeling in this world. As of now I’m a nationally registered EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), and have my fire 1 and 2 done, currently working 2 jobs full time jobs while attending online college classes. Also I am still able to volunteer with my firehouse and make time for my family. In the long term I hope one day to become a doctor and be able to help and make a bigger difference in their life’s and their families
