Journal 9- Daryn

I wanted to know more about firefighters responsibilities. I know that one of their jobs is to put out fires, but I wonder what else they do. They also inform the public on fires. They teach their community about the fires. Firefighters also respond to calls about hazardous materials. What surprised me though was they respond to some social service emergencies. They assist with victims and relatives of victims that were in traumatic events.  I always just thought they were responsible for putting out fires, but this has shown me a different side of being a firefighter.
Here's a firefighter teaching children.
A theme I see throughout the book is hard work. For example Mackenzie Byles is on call 24/7. No matter what is going on she would drop it for work. From my own experience I've learn that hard work will get you what you love. I worked on basketball nonstop and in the end I achieved what I always wanted. I was finally getting offers to play basketball at many different schools. I was finally getting what I loved and wanted to do. Just like many of the people in the book, they work hard to get what they love.

My best vocabulary word is brazen. This means bold and without shame. This is my best vocabulary world because I can use it in my everyday life. It will relate to more of my conversations than many of the other words I have found. Also I found this word interesting because I've never heard it before.

  1. I see throughout the book a lot of hard work too. It has to be so hard to be on call 24/7 but if you love your job then it probably isn't too bad!
