Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish.After one
childhood adventure at a construction site ended with an iron nail embedded(嵌入)in her leg and an emergency call to the fire department,she found herself in awe.“As they gave me the medical treatment,I thought,they could help everybody and do anything,"says the now52-year-old.
In2000,Speranza fulfilled her dream of becoming a firefighter.Her job was exactly as fulfilling as she imagined it would be,except for one thing:she still hadn't seen another woman in her role-not in a magazine,not on television,not in real life. Speranza decided to help young women see that they,too,could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage,an immersive(沉浸式的)program for girls aged 15to19who want to learn more about firefighting,paramedicine and police work.In 2006,Speranza welcomed the first17participants.Over the course,the girls discover the ins and outs of being first responders:learning how to put out fires,delivering first aid and so on.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year and is free to attend.Tooffset (抵消)costs,Speranza fundraises by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights.Campers must submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community,or a specific individual in need.And they have to deliver on the plan-from building a bench for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone.
While Camp Courage is designed to help more women become first responders, Speranza also has another,bigger objective in mind:building leaders.“If they can deliver a mechanical baby or climb a hundred-foot ladder,they're not going to have a problem going through a job interview,”says Speranza.“It's a complete change in mindset,and it works."
Now hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage and some of them work as first responders now.Speranza feels a sense of achievement.The opportunity to recruit other girls to save lives alongside her keeps her going.It's not even measurable.
24.What inspired Speranza to become a firefighter?
A.Her dream now.
B.A childhood accident.
C.The lack of female firefighters.she北京演唱会
D.A firefighter's encouragement.
25.Why did Speranza decide to start Camp Courage?
A.To train the girls to take the first aid course.
B.To complete an immersive program about firefighting.
