OTYMNKAM is i am saving up for a new phone..
Oh this is great for the newbies!!
One thing you may not know about me is I have an identical twin sister, Amy. Yes, we did all the silly tricky twin stuff growing up. Our favorite was in high school....in academia my sis went by her full name which is Amanda (Amy is her nickname) so we convinced some of our teachers and peers that we were actually triplets. They just somehow never saw Amy and Amanda together in the same room (kinda like Spiderman). :dude:
Oh God. You're all making me nervous! I have to apply for university/college by November! I want to go to art college but I'm petrified I won't get in!Emily, that's funny. One thing you may not know about me... I was a Fire Science/Emergency Management major (they basically call it the fire chief's degree, it deals with business management, fire science, EMS, etc) and decided to switch to Elementary Education instead. After 3 years. I just decided this the other day.
I was reluctant to change majors for several reasons, but decided this is the right thing to do. I can always work as an elementary teacher and then test out at fire departments at the same time if I decide that's what I want to do (a lot of people have other careers and then switch to the fire department), but an Emergency Management degree is really only good for one thing. Also, say I get injured doing EMS for firefighting and have to retire early. I would pretty much be stuck working at the grocery store or something, but if I have an Elementary Education degree, I could get hired as a teacher. And last of all, it often takes a while to get hired by a big city department (my boyfriend's brother is almost 35 and STILL hasn't been hired), I feel like having a real job between now and then! I could still do volunteer firefighting as a teacher too.
