Maybe everyone should read this atleast once

Its amazing to realize just how much you really do care about someone. Time after time you may tell yourself, yeah I know what it would be like to lose them, but really you don't. Until, it actually happens. Then, it hits home. It's just amazing that no matter how many times you mess up, and I'm not talking minor mess ups either. I'm talking to the point that any normal person would leave you out on the curb without thinking twice, they still forgive you and act like nothing happened. And then, when you think things can't get any worse, someone comes along and decides that they hate you with such a passion, that there going to try to screw things up even more. The reason they started hating isn't really known, but over time it grew. And grew. And grew. All because that person had one little grudge against you, but you wouldn't back down and let them push you around. Now, it's to the point where they even see your name and think to them selves... I wish he never even existed. Try as hard as you can, do what ever you have to. I'll tell you this now, I will NEVER back down and risk forgetting about the whole reason this was started in the first place.

You may not know this, so I will tell you. I WILL NEVER back down from a fight for what I believe is right. Anyone who really knows me knows this. I will risk it all if I have to. I want you to think about something. If you seen some little girl getting abducted on the street by some random guy, would you stand there and act like nothing happened or would you chase the bastard down and kick his ass for even thinking about hurting the innocent girl? If someone thinks they can throw me off my course by throwing in road blocks and dead ends, I will NEVER give up because the going gets too rough or maybe a little lost. I will NEVER give in and let them win. That's not me. If you don't like it, I suggest you go elsewhere.

There's a reason I do what I do. True, I am in a volunteer fire department, but it's not because I want to be seen as a hero. It's a job where you get to try to save a life and maybe some property. If I ever get to save one life, then I have made a difference. No one deserves to die because they were sleeping or couldn't find there way out of the smoke. As I am writing this I am training to become one of the guys who actually do go into the burning building and look for people and kids that are not able to get out by themselves. I have always wanted to become a fire fighter, and now I am. Eventually, I would like to be part of the team that is considered the last resort to save a life. The stuff they do is far some normal. They will risk there lives just for a chance at saving another. Some people will say that I'm a little crazy for wanting to be part of the team, but that's just who I am. During the summers, I work with places like Habitat for Humanity and a local church. Honestly, I think its something that everyone should do. For the past two years I have traveled over to York, PA with some people from my church. The place is called Field of Dreams. Sure, you may have to pay out some money to get there, but so what? Are you scared of parting with a little bit or something you don't really need? What? You need those extra pair of shoes or that new video game? Think about what the money is really going for. You're building a HOUSE for someone to LIVE in. These people aren't normal every day people who decided they want a new house. These are people that are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table for there kids. There not perfect, but then again, who is? Think you could spare that one pair of shoes or that one video game to put a roof over someone's head? With a little bit of work from everyone, amazing things can be accomplished. Are you afraid of volunteering your time? Think someone's going to laugh at you? Suck it up. What would you do if you were these people out on the streets or in a run down trailer? Let me give you a little incentive, these people that get the houses, they don't just get them for free. It is mandatory that they have a steady job and have to work so many hours on the house. It's not a free handout for some bum of the street who doesn't feel like doing anything to improve his life. If you don't want to travel and spend a week in some foreign place with people you don't really know, then find a local branch. You don't even need to work with a specific big name company. Go find a neighbor, help him. Its winter right now, go shovel an older persons sidewalk. If they try to give you money, don't take it. Tell them that you're just trying to make a difference in the world. I'm not telling you to stop on the side of a highway to help a stranded car because of the risk of the highway alone with the passing cars or the people inside the car. But, what would it take to pull out your cell phone and call for help? 911 isn't JUST for emergencies, its there to help people in need. I'm not telling you to start calling for the fun of it for ever little detail, there's a fine line between the right and wrong reasons to call.

Look, if you really want something bad enough then go get it. Don't make excuses. Aww I can't do it, ill never be good enough. SHUT UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT There is nothing that can't be accomplished. If you can't do it yourself, find someone to help you. If I've only learn one thing while being in the fire department, its teamwork. Just because you're not sure what you're doing, don't give up and quit. Find a way to figure it out. If there isn't a way, make a way. How do you think the world is where it is today? If people would have just given up in the beginning because they didn't want to get involved in some hard work, we would still be in the Stone Age. Sure, you may not be able to figure something out right away, but does that mean you give up? If you do, maybe you should reconsider some things. Think about where you're at, think about how you got there, and think about how you're going to get out. Don't ever give up.

No matter what, people can curse at me, threaten my life, take things away from me, or even take everything away from me, I will not change who I am. If you're still reading this them you must be at least slightly interested. Some people in this world are just too weak. That's a personal opinion, but I believe it's a good one. They let other people rule there life. It's about time they stop letting people push them around so they can get what they want. It doesn't take much to stand up and tell them to bug off. If there going to let people push them around, they maybe they deserve it.

It's not really all that hard to figure this out. Maybe use a little common sense and stop being such a hard ass and trying to act tough. Professional NFL football players, they volunteer there time, something that is much more valuable to them than money. But not everything is about money. If you really wanted to, you probably could live off of minimum wage, as long as you didn't waste your resources and used some common sense. This is pretty much where I stand. If you don't like it, well, as I said before maybe you should go elsewhere until you figure out what really going on.
