to live each and every moment fully. My dad has pushed me to become the best version of myself and to stay involved in the community. Furthermore, his job has encouraged me to go into the medical profession of nursing in the future. I have learned to always look for the positive in negative situations I would not be the person I am today without my dad’s job as a firefighter. My dad is my hero.”
