With 3 years in the Blue Eagle Academy I had the opportunity to talk with, train with, and even volunteer with fire fighters from all over Johnson County, including Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, CFD2, as well as a few from out of state. During this time I was also enrolled in an EMT course, allowing me to build relationships with members of other agencies outside of Johnson County.
At this job I mostly took orders on the headset, during which time I was learning the valuable life lesson of knowing your worth - I left because I was being way overworked for way too little.
During my time here I learned lots of small tidbits about home improvement. I left due to not really jiving with the environment.
This job helped me learn how to work both in a team and individualy - which further develop better time management as well as leadership skills. I left here for reasons similar to McDonald's - solo closing 5 nights a week under corporate malarkey got to be too much.
