Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Cullinary arts ...paramedic ...really not sure went to school to cook-dropped out and became a paramedic...I,m the only one in my family in this field.. In high school it was the furthest thing from my mind I wanted to simply be a good wife have a good job and be a mom..but I'm here now . I have a beautifull 2 year old girl and still single but I wouldn't change a thing . I figure God wanted me where I'm at and we are in the ride to gather so when the time comes maybe I'll find the right man that can understand the job I do and the hours I work .. I hope...

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Actually doing something worth while... that just might make a diffrence..
