When I was little everyone told me I would make a great lawyer, they said I loved to argue. For a long time I believed them, I do love to argue. However, the older I got the more I realized that it wasn’t the arguing I loved, it was the dialog. How two people can have the exact same experience, but have two totally different views about that experience baffled me.

After long summers of lounging around the pool having other people watch you from the tall white stands, your parents tell you that you need to get a job if you want to have gas to drive your car around with friends. So if the ideas of being indoors and not going back to school with a great tan frighten you then you should definitely think about being a lifeguard. Your friend who is a lifeguard tells you that the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) is hiring kids that are sixteen years old and up. You decide that you want to get paid to get tan and the pay is awesome as most starting guards get paid at $7.00 by the hour.
In 2005, Congress reauthorized the legislation for the NHTSA. Under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equality Act: A Legacy for Users or SAFETEA-LU, Congress then created the Federal Interagency Committee on Emergency Medical Services. The EMS system today is still a serious career that is competitive to get into. Medical Assistance is integrated into Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, and anyone in public safety because it’s an honorable career and works to improve the safety of the community in which we live in.

Every year communities struggle each year around the nation with issues of life safety. In 2012, the nation’s fire departments responded to 31,854,000 responses that resulted in the deaths 0f 2,855 civilians and injuring 16,500 causing an estimated $12,427 million dollars in damage.
