I have the best job in the world. I feel satisfaction when I pick up the 90 year old lady off the floor at 3am in the morning because she has no one else to talk to. I am happy when I get an awesome trauma call and even happier when I have a student riding with me who gets to do their first needle chest decompression or get an intubation.
I am receiving an awesome education with some help from my parents and grandparents. I couldn't be in a more rewarding field and this education makes my job more interesting by the day.
I have a gym membership and personal trainer. I am happy when I go to the gym and even happier when I get home from the gym. I feel better now than I have in the past year.
From others:
I have great friends who are supportive, a great shift at work, and an awesome boss that has his employees interest at heart in every decision that he makes.
I have a supportive family that gives me unconditional love, even when I have made the stupidest of decision, and I have made some REALLY stupid decisions.
I have a membership to great organizations like VAVRS / NAEMT / and VEMA. I get to interact with some very talented people and learn constantly from them.
What I have done RIGHT:
Two months ago I decided to get a personal trainer, now I feel better than I have in the past year.
I have continued my education as a full time student every year since graduating high school.
My Wants:
I want to get hired with the Virginia Office of EMS, finish my bachelors, start on my Masters in Public Administration, be able to pass the candidate physical ability test after finishing with my personal trainer, finish my externship, and get my associate emergency manager certification.
Something I could add to my life:
I could have a better social life and see my friends more often. This would fulfill my needs for love, fun, and freedom.

Just reading the description of what you already have in your life that makes you happy is powerful.
Sorry, I accidentally published that comment too soon.
To continue what I was saying;
I hope that when I do my ride alongs and lessons I have someone as enthusiastic to learn from.
I'm curious what you feel your continuing education says about you. Its obvious that you are proud of it, and you should be.
I liked the part in the text stating that you are probably happier than you realize. What I enjoy the most is when I hear, see, watch, etc., somebody have quality goals but can appreciate their current life and circumstances equally. You are obviously a goal setter and thus, from descriptions such as staying in school since graduation, a goal-earner! If I may be so bold as to ask, are you the type of person who has the decision tree for everything? Are nearly all of the important things in your life a series of well-defined and achievable steps? I am similar to this and it serves me well. Aside from some obsessive compulsive tendencies and an over-developed sense of right and wrong, I enjoy having a plan for every aspect of my plan. Best of luck with everything but I do not think that you will need it.
Sounds like your cup is more than half full!
