sleep help: My biggest thought on my mind right now is my future.

dalton2021

My biggest thought on my mind right now is my future.

Ill start off with the fact that im 17yrs old, 6′6″ 185lbs and i have scoliosis not a severe curvature but a moderate one. Its bad enough to where it causes me alittle daily pain. I am also in a back brace i have to sleep in it at night, well anyways i want to be a firefighter im a explorer for LA county fire dept and a soon to be cadet for Ventura county fire dept. im just worried about the fact that my scoliosis is going to have a BIG impact on my training because heavy lifting and whatnot causes me pain and it sucks because all the other guys can do everything easier than i can because they dont get as fatigued as fast as i do with 60lbs of gear on your back. It sucks because the only thing i want more than anything is to fullfil my childhood dreams of becoming a firefighter. Im close i have soo much under my belt im just scared when academy time comes i wont be able to perform as well as i should be. This is on my mind everyday and i need some outside opinions. Thanks.

Good your future is important. If you have the drive and the fear you will make it. Go fight fires!

Do your best dude, it’s all you’ve got. If you’ve got the drive you’ll get there.

Found it.

You have a lot of ambition so keep pushing and hoping that you can achieve it. But, I’m afraid to say that you must remember the possibility that this wont work out. So maybe you can also figure out a back up plan? Is there anything else that you are passionate about?
