I Got it Honest

So for the past 10 months i have been working on getting my EMT card so i can start working for the fire house. I have been working some hours here and there but i am not on the schedule ever since i did not have my EMT card that i needed. So i went through the class and its a two part class and for the first part of the class i did ok, and when i say i did ok i mean i only passed by like 2 points. Now in this class anything lower than an 80% is failing so i really got an 82% in the class. But any ways so i barely passed the first part of this class. And so going into the second part i was a little nervous because i heard it gets harder as most things do in my life, but you know. So i went into the second part and right off i struggled. I could not get the grades i wanted on the test and just really had a hard time. It was not even the bad grades that made me the most mad. It was the fact that a guy in my class who was struggling like i was started to cheat. Now i know about cheating cause without it i am not sure if i would have made it through middle school, but that is another story. So any ways this guy is cheating on EMT test which is stuff that he really needs to know if he wants to save a life. So as i began to fail this class i see him succeed and it sucks cause the guy that is sitting next to me has the highest grade in the class.
So to make a long story short i ended up failing the class and he passed. So i had to re take the second part of the class over again. This time i passed it and felt really good about things. But just like everything in my life there has to be a test that says that you are good enough. So this test is called National Registry. This test is designed to fail you and it is really hard. Most people fail it at least once if not more. So that guy who cheated through class now went and took this test and has now failed it three times.
In a way i feel sorry for him but then again he put this one on him self. So i took the same test he took and failed it once and just passed it on Tuesday. So it is really cool to see the 10 months of hard work finally pay off. And as bad as this may sound i am glad that i passed after failing only once and he has failed three times. So as of Tuesday the 10th i am an EMT in the United States. Mark it down, it was a great day to be Kyle Crofford

Praise JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this song is very fitting for me in this situation and it just so happens to be one of my favorite country songs so.......

It aint nothin but a small frame house on an acre lot
It aint that much diffrent from any other house on the block
And it may not look like we got all our share of the promise
But at least one things for sure, I got it honest

Roll out of the sack every mornin, head on down to the mill
Give em all I got for eight, cause thats the deal
If youll check out my paycheck
Well, youll see that there aint that much on it
But evry single penny Im paid, I got it honest

I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what I believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
cause buddy if I didnt earn it, I dont want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest

Now you aint looking at some dude
That was born with a silver spoon in his mouth
And I might seem like some kind of low-life
To that high-falutin crowd
But Im plain spoken, straight talkin
And damn proud of what I have acomplished
Some folks appreciate that and some dont
But, I got it honest

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune
But I hope they knowd my life stood for things that were important
And Ill hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma
It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest

I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what I believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
cause brother if I didnt earn it, I dont want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest
Friend there aint no doubt about it, I got it honest
