I'm about midway through the applying/hiring process for Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services. I have 2 huge exams to pass. I will be taking the written one tonight, and the physical one in the near future. I have had a bit of a head start with the training, but I am no where near ready. Yet.
This process is guaranteed to change the rest of my life. If I get it, the change is obvious. If I don't, I will know what to do better for my next attempt. I will still hold my head high knowing that I tried. At 32 years old, after nearly 9 years of a desk job... I want bigger and better. Just a few years ago at 258lbs., you could not have paid me to do this. Now, I am doing it for free for fun and looking to make it my career. People often ask me how I do what I do these days. That's understandable, I have done more with my life in the last few years then some people have done in a lifetime. Kelly has a quote that she often blurts out, "Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right.". Ya know, not once in the last 2 years have I said that I couldn't do something. If you want to know how it is that I have gotten from point A to point B, it's because of that. Attitude is everything. Of course, It may have turned out that I couldn't, but I tried. *Ahhhmm Box Jumps.*. The ability to change and maintain is yours. I know that I am really putting myself other there for this one, but why wouldn't I?
Opportunities are not given, they are taken. What's the worst that could happen?
