Bachus us a mess. She had nips on the floor of her car,peed in the police cruiser, and hit the officer with a closed fist. She's had multiple run-ins with other SC members. This is not her first lapse in judgement. She needs to resign. The AP is a decent guy (my kids go to TG) who made a stupid mistake.

OK this one is going to seem crazy. Take an EMT class. They're pretty short, typically 2 nights per week for 3+ hours plus a few hours on saturdays for practicing skills. Programs vary and many are shorter than 3 months. The cost is probably still around $1,200 but many towns offer local scholarships (we do). EMTs are in incredible demand, you can work literally anywhere, usually on your own schedule, part time, weekends, nights. I work one shift per week. Yes it's SHITTY pay but that's not why you are there.

You will meet lots of people your age. You will meet other EMTs and medics. You will meet firefighters. You will regularly see nurses.

It's honestly fun, for me it was life changing. Guarantee that you will meet new people in ways you cannot imagine!

We get ours at Ace. It can be tough to keep them for more than a season. Definitely don't try to use them if they got wet. They puff up and turn back to dust and your stove will NOT like that. It's a mistake you only make once.
