I got voted as an officer of my Rescue Squad tonight! I'm super excited about that. Doesn't mean I can do anything too major. I'll just be the secretary for the 2013 year. But, still. I'm excited for it. Gives me some speaking ability in the Squad about how to run things more smoothly. I'm only 18 but I'm determined to make a difference. Even it is in a really small county like the one I live in. Start small finish big, yeah? Sounds like a good plan to me.
Finally got all the stuff for my EMT class finished. I take my state practical on December 20th. I think I'll do well on it. I hope I do well, anyway. We'll see though. I think I got the highest score in the class, overall. Woot woot. Average kid, making something of my life.
Anyway, that's my bit of wannabe hero news for the evening. :]

Small steps...
Well, little steps at a time in my stead to change the world. Slowly but surely, yeah?
I got voted into my local fire department tonight. Got all of my turnout gear and everything. I will admit I look fairly dashing in it. Even though I'm ginormously tall so I look kind of funny. Oh well. So, now I'm an EMT-B and I'm in the fire department so I'll be getting my certifications for that sooner or later as well.
It's quite a rewarding feeling knowing I'm doing something, even small to change the community for the better and to give myself the opportunity to save lives in Emergency Services. Small steps, but pretty big ones overall in my life. :]

Current Feelings.
Well, let's see. I'm just a normal kid of 18 years. I've had it pretty rough and I try my best to help other people since for the longest time I had no one myself. I'm an EMT and I like to think I save lives. I have saved lives. It's such a rewarding feeling, really.
I wish I could do more though. I want to be someone. I want to be someone important. Someone who remembers me and knows who I am and the good I ended up doing. But, what to do and how. Like, my blog name. I'm a wanna be superhero. I wanna change the world, but I've no means of doing it.
Yeah, I understand that just doing small little feats can help to make things a better place. But, I wanna be bigger than what was ever expected of me. I was expected to not amount to anything, and well that sucks. I am doing well for myself by my standards, I think. I'll soon have a very well paying job. I'm helping to support my family. (That being my mom and little brother)
Who knows, maybe something will happen that will lead me down a path that will let me change lives in a bigger way than what I do now. We'll see.
I don't understand how Christians think Atheists are damned to Hell. I myself do not believe in God but even if I'm wrong and don't believe in God I'm not a bad person. My morals are not messed up. I genuinely care about people and I am a good person. But, whatever. That was a random thought. I just want to do something good with my life.
