was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father
was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died and she was never able to
volunteer with him. Rence"s story doesn"t end there, however, which is why I
think of her as a true heroine. She was strong-minded and never gave up, which
makes her a good firefighter.
Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a
fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who"s sick. Other days she
is in the driver"s seat. Sometimes Rence works nine to eleven days a month on
24-hour shifts. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a firefighter,
too.
Rence remembers the first time she fought a fire. She was awoken early in the
morning by the alarm. She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.
When I asked Rence what the best part of her job is, she replied. "Helping
people and saving their lives." I think that shows signs of being a true heroine.
She"s always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her
station, Rence is one of the only three women.
I think she"s great. We could never live without people like her who is glad
to help others. Rence"s deed helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope
someday to be just like her: to wake up and help people every day.
