After earning my Associates Degree from Miami Dade College I was overjoyed with excitement on my accomplishment and my new goal of continuing my education to achieve a 4-year degree. I applied and attended Florida International University in the pursuit of getting a Bachelor in Fine Arts and in Computer Science. However, after my first semester I realized that over time I grew disinterested in my major. Around this time of my life I was fortunate to have met a firefighter at my local church.

I started asking him many question of firefighting and starting growing in love with the idea of being a firefighter.

He sighed and flopped on the bed. As he lay down, a pile of shoes, capes, costumes and fire trucks cascaded on to the floor. Outside, the sun began to set as evening turned into night. It would be impossible to clean everything up. If only he was not so sleepy, he thought to himself.

Time. 10:19 p.m. South Florida. The traffic light rests at red for an eternity, mocking me with its condescending gaze. I quickly turned my head both directions, not a car in sight for what it seemed to be miles. Is this some kind of joke? Looking into the rear view mirror, nothing there by me. James Montgomery. Glasses, brown hair, green sweater vest, and an untrimmed beard. Some people say I resemble a young Robin Williams from Good Will Hunting. I’ll take that as a compliment.

With being in a Hispanic community, I thought it would be beneficial. Besides, it’s not like I’m in a hurry to get to

"At least you like coffee, I'm stuck with tea." The younger girl paused to think. "Hey, I'm going to make a cup of tea, want coffee?" Scott said yes and gave his thanks whilst Chloe walked into the kitchen. "I wish we lived close to each other. The only times we see each other in real life is at conventions and sometimes when the Late Night Crew get together. I miss you sometimes. Skype can only do so much, you know?" The kettle had boiled and so the young girl began to make the coffee. "We had to write about our perfect partner in a French lesson once.

Diane Barbee, returning to the scene, could feel intense heat radiating off the house. Moments later, the five windows of the children’s room exploded and flames “blew out,” as Barbee put it. Within minutes, the first firemen had arrived, and Willingham approached them, shouting that his children were in their bedroom, where the flames were thickest. A fireman sent word over his radio for rescue teams to “step on it.”

The house is filled with Father and Thomas 's yells. Why can 't my family understand that my brother, Thomas, is a Whig? He only has different stand points on this new act England has passed, The Stamp Act. Ever since March 22, 1765 when the Stamp Act was passed (history.com) that 's all that is talked about in the colonies anymore. I wish I could tell them that I am a Whig too, but Mother and Father would hate me forever. They would maybe even kill me if they knew that I came along with Thomas to help The Sons and Daughters of Liberty every time we can.

In the article, Heroic Firefighter’s Story, published by ABC News, the author focuses on the story of a particular firefighter who risked and lost his own life in attempt to rescue victims stuck inside the World Trade Center during 9/11, Timothy Stockpole. The article first introduces us to Stockpole by presenting a background of him, describing a life-threatening incident he first had while stuck in a burning house 3 years before his actual death. Then, it continues to explain what happened to him as he attended his (unknowingly) last day of work, while going into detail about what happened soon after his death, such as the fact that 10,000 people showed up at his funeral. The tone of this article could be described as melancholic, because

During my observation time at the fire station, the crew and I got to interact with one another about various subjects, whether it was specifically about their job or something personal about them. I introduced myself individually to each of the fire men and told them something interesting about myself. When I told them about my experiences with boxing, each of them were interested and wanted me to show them stuff (Train). I didn’t do this until later on in the evening, when the men had an hour to themselves to rest, workout, sleep etc. During that period of time, I showed them a variety of skills in boxing and they even tried them too. All in all, we seemed to enjoy each other’s presence and learned a lot from each other.
