I've wanted to be several things. Like Redhawk I've had the whole American Dream thing too, husband, kids, house, land, etc. However, I don't know how likely any of those things will be. So I'll bury myself in work until life catches up with me.

I first wanted to be a DEC Officer, then wanted to be an Arson Investigator working with a K-9 partner. I haven't given up either of those dreams, but we'll see where the tide takes me.

Things I have been: Class A Interior Firefighter, EMT-I,Vet Tech Ass't at a busy animal hospital, First Responder, Waitress, Bartender, Art Gallery Ass't Manager, Secretary and Landscaper laborer. OH! And a professional rider for a local stable, competed in dressage and trained horses, still train occasionally. I was also an assistant for a professor at my college during an archaeological dig following my field school. It was cool, but I don't think I want to be an archaeologist. I also moonlight cataloging human remains with another professor, which is what I thought I wanted to do, but I dunno.

I have an appointment to take the NYS Parks Police exam on November 15th. So wish me luck.
