Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Did you want to be a doctor, an astronaut, or even someday be the President of the United States?
For many of us, there was a moment in our childhood that pushed us toward our future career paths, helping to mold and shape us into who we are and what we do today and here in East Providence we might just be watching that play out in real-time for 14-year-old Adrian Burgo.
It all started for Adrian in Kindergarten when he and his classmates spent the day at the Pawtucket Fire Department as part of a field trip. After getting off the bus, his eyes widened and lit up as he looked up to the sky. It was his first time seeing a tower ladder in person and at that moment, he says he fell in love with it all. But, Adrian says it wasn’t until a few years later that he took action on that passion.
