I sometimes joined them when they parked their fire trucks by the field near my home, and played football together. Suddenly an alarm sounded from their vehicles, and they had to end their exercise to go put out some fire.<br /><br />Several years later I found myself refusing to do military service. On the list of possible alternative positions I found: Firefighter with the airport fire brigade. So I served my country for 12 months as a firefighter!<br /><br />My civil career choices then took me in other directions, but that year of firefighting and medical care was very enjoyable and educational.<br />And my boyhood dream came true!<br /><br />I agree, Annika. Dreams, fulfilled or unfulfilled, can make you happy if dealt with in a constructive way. I believe they are an important part of shaping your own identity.<br /><br />/HansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
