Summary Of ' Sky 's The Limit '

“Sky’s the limit” he always says. This is by far my Uncle Richie’s favorite sayings and motto’s. My uncle is a very determined man, with many goals and aspirations.

After his term with the military, he decided that he wanted to spend the rest of his live saving the lives of others. Which sparked in interest in becoming a firefighter. Luckily his experience with the military gave him an upper hand during his recruitment process, and it only to took him a year before he officially began the Fire Academy.
