A. Read the article. What are the noun forms of the words in blue? A. J. Coston isn't waiting to start his dream job. At age 18, he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter in the United States. During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad, and sister, and does his main job: going to high school. “I have always wanted to get into firefighting... since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,” he says. “One day I was bored and on the Internet, and I found out that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.”
Some of A. J.’s friends are surprised by his decision to spend weekends at the firehouse, but to A. J., helping people is more satisfying than anything else. The job is never boring, either, since firefighters get called to all sorts of emergencies. One terrifying moment for A. J. was getting an emergency call after four children were struck by lightning. Luckily, all four survived.
A. J. will be off to college next fall and plans to study what he’s most interested in: emergency medical care. “I want to be a flight medic on a helicopter eventually,” he says.<br>
