Summary

I believe I have honed the skills that would be helpful and useful for a setting like this. In this next part of my life, I'm looking to improve my ability to work in a high-stress environment before I settle as a firefighter. Becoming a firefighter is my ultimate goal, to be helpful to the community and improve the trust of the public for overall better safety.
