Statement of Goals

     Throughout my life I have always found that setting goals for yourself is the best way to be where you want to be. I set daily goals and long term goals for my life. Each goal I achieve is a step closer to where I want and need to be. Here are a few of those goals. 

 

Academically

I strive to make straight As every semester. I fall short sometimes, but generally I achieve this goal. 

​

I want to obtain my bachelors degree in Emergency Management because I feel that it will assist me in my career as a firefighter and leader. I do get a 6% raise from my degree which is helps drive me, but the main aspect is that I will be better prepared to handle emergency situations ranging from our regular everyday calls to major disasters. I plan to have this completed by May of 2022. 

​

Career

My career goals are to make rank as fast as I can, take as many classes as I can and become as involved as I can within the Fire Department. I love what I do. I am currently working on this goal which is a recurring goal. I made the Rank of Driver last year which was the first time I was eligible to test. I have completed all the classes required for my next promotion and now am waiting on the minimum time to take the test. I am also currently scheduled to take two more classes this year that will help me become a better fireman.
