Thinking 23

Was just my birthday about a month and a half back. I am twenty three now, I am feeling very old. This year is gonna be a good one, a major change, a total turn around....I want it to be better then the last few.

I have been working hard getting my stuff together and working towards my dream. For those of you who don't know what that is, I want to be an EMT. I want to save people, make a difference, have a new adventure every day. I passed my EMT course last year and got nationally certified, but I was too scared and didn't know if I could handle it, I don't like screwing up and these are lives on the line here.

In any case, I am doing, I am a volunteer EMT down in Olympia and I'm excited to be starting somewhere. Baby steps. Some day I will be at an ambulance company and working as a career. For now I am volunteering as an EMT and working full time at avisbudget and volunteering every Saturday working in the Mary bride emergency department and every now and again watching evan...yeah I am busy, I like it that way.

I'm not going to lie, though, I'm not perfect. Twenty three is by no means going to be a breeze, I am still a crazy, I still do struggle, I go up and I go down and I feel the urge and I fight. I will always fight, I want to be strong. I want to be a strong, healthy EMT that people look up to.

All in all, things are coming along just fine for now. I'm too stubborn to give up on my dream and to just give in to my fears and urges. I am strong. I'm an EMT.
