Four Alarm Fire

Greg woke up, still not knowing what he wanted to do with his life. The last few weeks he had been sitting on the coach watching tv, just waiting for something to do with his life. "Today is the day." He thought to himself. He got dressed and headed out into the city to find his calling. He walked for hours around the city finding nothing but a Help Wanted sign on a hot dog stand. He bought a hotdog but was not interested in helping.
After walking a couple more blocks he decided to take a break and slipped into a museum. He loved the paintings and wondered if he should beomce a painter, but then he stopped. He saw the most beautiful painting of a fire burning down a building. He couldnt stop thinking about it. He stood there for an hour and thought, "I want to be a firefighter."Gregs life was changed.

Introduction

I was born in Paris, France. I had lived there my entire life, but on my sixteenth birthday my sister took me on a trip to New York City and we never went back to France. We have lived in New York for 5 years now. My family later decided to come and join us here. I have one older sister who is now 23 and a younger brother who is 19. We love America!
