Interpretive
There are many important procedures I learned from joining the Explores, but most importantly I learned and still learning the brotherhood of the firefighters and how they work together. This experience I'm still gaining makes me feel very intelligent because I'm working in the fire departments with each firefighter and learning all of the proper skills needed.
Applied
My service learning helped me so much to answer my essential question because the fire explores is very opened to work in West Covina and shows how to apply to get started with a fire career in the city. Working with the professional firefighters has made every Saturday to be a physical, educational day for me because in each department we do different drills and knowing each drill, while studying, and improving my 'firefighter' skills will make me be one step away becoming a fireman for West Covina.
