Reflection:

       Yes I would like to become a firefighter. I like helping people out and this interests me. I don’t really know much about it but I always see them in the streets, at emergency events and doing their job. It is really interesting and it is not an easy job. This is something that I could see myself doing in 2 years or so. That is one of my goals, to become a firefighter or volunteer as one.
