The profession of firefighter is very beautiful, interesting and rewarding, with the latter I do not mean at a monetary level but at a personal level or satisfaction to be able to help communities or people who are in danger; For me it is a pride to present today the first graduation of the juvenile children's fire department to which my oldest son Matthias belongs, promotion to which they titled "Little Heroes", a name with a great meaning since they represent the future of my dear Carora, Since they were little they are sowing the seed of helping others, whoever needs it, as long as it is in their hands, without endangering their own lives, being a hero for a child is their dream and learn this profession for them is to fulfill part of this dream, a reality of which I am very happy to be part of it.
En una publicación pasada, les presente los avances de mi hijo al practicar Rapel, siendo esta la ultima actividad en el programa para poder recibir su certificado que los acredita como brigadistas de los bomberos, este es el comienzo de una hermosa carrera, la cual podrán tomar como profesión o como voluntarios, abriendo las puertas a estos pequeños por el camino del bien, de la disciplina, compañerismo y amor al prójimo.
In a previous publication, I presented the progress of my son to practice Rappel, this being the last activity in the program to receive their certificate that certifies them as firefighters, this is the beginning of a beautiful career, which may take as a profession or as volunteers, opening the doors to these children on the path of good, discipline, companionship and love for others.
Desde hace un par de semanas las practicas de orden cerrado han sido mas fuertes y duraderas, ya que los nuevos brigadistas debían estar preparados para su acto solemne, y todo debía estar perfecto, en sincronía; las caras de felicidad y cansancio en cada una de las practicas eran muy gratificantes, todos estaban muy emocionados de usar su nuevo uniforme y poder recibir de la mano de las autoridades de la brigada su certificado, ademas que podrían mostrar a sus familiares un acto lleno de elegancia.
Since a couple of weeks ago the practices of closed order have been stronger and longer, since the new brigadistas had to be prepared for their solemn act, and everything had to be perfect, in synchrony; the faces of happiness and tiredness in each of the practices were very gratifying, everyone was very excited to wear their new uniform and to receive from the hand of the authorities of the brigade their certificate, besides that they could show their families an act full of elegance.
Les cuento que a estas practicas no podíamos asistir los padres, porque esto seria una sorpresa para todos, pero en casa mi hijo se la pasaba practicando los movimientos y el texto que debía decir; matthias es uno de los 3 brigadistas mas pequeños y le toco dirigir a sus compañeros, dar la voz de mando al recibir sus certificados, en este momento mi corazón se lleno de gran orgullo al ver a mi pequeño firme y solicitar en voz clara y fuerte le fueran conferidos los certificados, acá les confieso que no pude resistir mis lagrimas.
I tell you that we parents could not attend these practices, because this would be a surprise for everyone, but at home my son was practicing the movements and the text to say; Matthias is one of the 3 smallest brigadistas and it was his turn to lead his companions, give the voice of command to receive their certificates, at this moment my heart was filled with great pride to see my little firm and ask in a clear and strong voice were conferred certificates, here I confess that I could not resist my tears.
Este fue un acto muy emotivo, lleno de sorpresas, lagrimas, alegrías, risas y pare de contar, desde muy temprano nos levantamos para arreglarnos y no había visto a mi hijo con su uniforme, ya que la costurera lo entrego un día antes y mi esposa lo lavo para plancharlo temprano; cuando vi a mi hijo con su uniforme comenzaron las emociones, su cara de felicidad hablaba por si sola, y en casa todos felices al verlo tan grande y con un sentido de responsabilidad bien definido.
This was a very emotional event, full of surprises, tears, joy, laughter and stop counting, we got up very early to get ready and I had not seen my son with his uniform, since the seamstress delivered it a day before and my wife washed it to iron it early; when I saw my son with his uniform the emotions began, his happy face spoke for itself, and at home everyone was happy to see him so big and with a sense of responsibility well defined.
Antes de comenzar el acto les dieron una gran sorpresa, llego uno de los camiones de los bomberos, abrieron sus puertas y les mostraron los equipos, contestaron de forma muy amable sus inquietudes, les permitieron manipular algunos de los equipos, Matthias es muy curioso y fue uno de los que mas pregunto jajaja, aparte pidió si podía usar unas de las mascaras que utilizan en los incendios, a lo cual accedieron los bomberos, Matthias decía que era el mejor día de su vida.
Before starting the event they were given a big surprise, one of the fire trucks arrived, they opened their doors and showed them the equipment, they answered very kindly their questions, they allowed them to handle some of the equipment, Matthias is very curious and was one of those who asked more hahaha, besides he asked if he could use some of the masks used in fires, to which the firefighters agreed, Matthias said it was the best day of his life.
Llegada la hora comenzó el acto donde salieron bien formados los brigadistas, dirigidos por su coordinadora, quien les entrego y enseño muchas cosas, aparte que lo hace con mucho cariño, se nota que le gusta y disfruta de esta profesión; al llegar a su posición estuvieron firmes para cantar los himnos de Venezuela, Lara y el de Bomberos, seguidamente se saludaron a las autoridades y luego se procedió a la entrega de los certificados, acá todos los brigadistas demostraron su entrega a esta actividad, como les dije anteriormente Matthias es uno de los mas pequeños y estaba en la última fila, ellos fueron los que causaron mas sensación y les felicitaron y animaron a seguir por este camino.
When the time came, the act began where the brigade members were well formed, led by their coordinator, who gave them and taught them many things, besides that she does it with much affection, you can see that she likes and enjoys this profession; When they arrived at their position they stood firm to sing the hymns of Venezuela, Lara and the Firefighters, then they greeted the authorities and then proceeded to the delivery of certificates, here all the brigadistas demonstrated their commitment to this activity, as I said before Matthias is one of the smallest and was in the last row, they were the ones who caused more sensation and congratulated them and encouraged them to continue on this path.
Luego de la entrega de placas y reconocimientos a las autoridades respectivas se dio por terminado el acto, o eso era lo que todos pensábamos, acá estaba la mayor sorpresa para los brigadistas, sacaron la manguera de apagar incendios y se la dieron a la madrina de la promoción y nos invitaron a presenciar el bautizo de los nuevos brigadistas, la instructora mando a los muchachos a agacharse un poco y sorpresa, les dieron un gran baño; a mi parecer esta fue la parte que mas disfrutaron los niños, estaban muy felices, la madrina se contagio de esa felicidad y también decidió bañarse con ellos jajajaja
After the presentation of plaques and recognition to the respective authorities, the ceremony ended, or so we all thought, here was the biggest surprise for the brigadistas, they took out the fire hose and gave it to the godmother of the promotion and invited us to witness the baptism of the new brigadistas, the instructor sent the boys to bend down a little and surprise, they were given a big bath; I think this was the part that the children enjoyed the most, they were very happy, the godmother was infected with that happiness and also decided to bathe with them hahahaha.
Inmediatamente los mandaron a cambiarse de ropa y allí se les tenia un pequeño agasajo, para disfrutar y compartir en familia, refrescos, pasapalos, torta y un pequeño cotillón como premio por su graduación y para dar la bienvenida oficial al cuerpo de bomberos de la ciudad, ya para años posteriores irán subiendo de rango, hasta tener edad permitida para hacer carrera.
Immediately they were sent to change clothes and there they had a small celebration, to enjoy and share with the family, refreshments, snacks, cake and a small cotillion as a reward for their graduation and to officially welcome them to the fire department of the city, and for later years they will go up in rank, until they are old enough to make a career.
Les puedo decir que soy un padre muy orgulloso de sus hijos, me gusta compartir y disfrutar con mis pequeños cada una de las metas cumplidas; agradezco a todos por leerme y espero que hayan disfrutado esta hermosa graduación, por ahora se despide su amigo el Drhueso hasta una nueva oportunidad.
I can tell you that I am a very proud father of his children, I like to share and enjoy with my little ones each of the goals accomplished; I thank you all for reading me and I hope you enjoyed this beautiful graduation, for now your friend Drhueso says goodbye until a new opportunity.
