Interpretive
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
I've learned that being a firefighter is EXTREMELY physically demanding. I knew this beforehand because of being an explorer but being at the station for an entire half shift only really showed me first hand. From the daily pt to the drills and going on a call. Some of the other firefighters complained a bit and they were grown MEN. It really opened my eyes. I definitely believe in equality for women but sometimes we gotta understand that Mother Nature built men physically stronger than women.
5. What is your senior project going to be? How did what you do help choose a topic? Please explain.
Originally i was going to do firefighting but I'm not so sure I want this for the rest of my life. I'd rather pursue a career that requires thinking with my brain more than lifting heavy tools with my muscles. I'm considering doing my project on a field of law but I'm not completely convinced.
