Hey, me again.
Cardio is a big thing. Sounds like you mihgt have that under control. Going to the gym is a great idea. They must have someone there that can help you out in what you are looking to achieve. A lot of it can be done at home. I bought...

I agree with Ron. College would be the way to go. You'll get more from it. It also sounds like you already know what you want to do. Go for it with all you have and I wish you the best of luck.
Ron,

- Hi Natalie. Now is the right time to be asking! Give me a call at the office, 360-734-7316. I am crazy busy, but I can always make time to talk or help someone out with questions about my favorite profession! We are about to start the testing process for firefighter, and we help out a lot of people to see if this is what they want or not. Call me and I can help you out.

I am a Firefighter/EMT and recent graduate from the Fire Academy at IRSC. I grew up making music and since I am still on the hunt for a fire job, I found myself inspired to make Firefighter Tribute Songs to honor this amazing industry. Here is a link to my website where you can hear and see my songs and videos. I hope you enjoy them.
