underpaid?!

Hi I'm Victoria and I'm a freshman. This is one of my first blogs. So, here it goes..

People save citizen’s lives everyday either by running into a house that is on fire, arresting someone who has done wrong, or even fighting for their country. What do they get for their heroism? Maybe a small pat on the back with a little, and when I say little I mean it, paycheck? We sit here and just let it happen. Police officers and firemen risk their lives every day to save ours and we pay them hardly anything at all. If we value our own safely then we shouldn’t mind paying them a little extra to make sure every one of us is safe. They earn every cent of their paycheck and then some with their bravery and courage alone. They give of themselves on behalf of others so we can give a little bit of our funds  to show that we appreciate all that they do.
