A Journey Coming to a End

This semester  I was given the opportunity to learn more about blogging. Before this semester I thought that blogs were just a version of a online diary or journal. A place people wrote about feelings or events that were happening in the world.; things like your first love, break up, job, or family and school. I had no idea that some people actually put research into their blogs. I had no idea that there are bloggers out there who talk about things I am going through right now; things like being a volunteer EMT at a young age and the experiences you gain there.  

My favorite blog that I found  I could relate to the most, was the blog called Probie to Practitioner, this follows a EMT and her journey since she became an EMT when she was younger. In her blog she talks about things that you sacrifice to become a EMT at a young age. Things like:

1. Regular college experiences or stressors
2. Having most of your friends be older than you, so you talk about divorce and kids instead of the cute guy in your class or the latest movie
3. You also are really busy as a EMT, so there is not a whole lot of time to date or to ever fall in love.

She talks about how even though she may have sacrificed some of these experiences above, how she would not trade her family and friends she gained in the firehouse for any experience in the world. I really found that I could relate to many things she talks about going through in her blog, but like her I would not trade my family and friends I gained for any regular teenage experience. So since I began my journey into blogging I learned that blogging was more than what I saw on the surface. I gained a community of bloggers that I will treasure having; a community where I can go to a read their blogs and know that I am not alone in my experiences.
