My story starts in the small but big town of Bel Air in Maryland. I grew up with my family and a few close friends, there wasn’t much more that I needed. I liked to enjoy the simple things in life.
On my sixteenth birthday I joined my local volunteer fire company, BAVFC. After only my first call, a drunk who physically threatened me and the paramedic, I knew that I was sold. This was my opportunity. Soaring right into my training I became a certified Emergency Medical Technician before I turned seventeen.
After three years, I couldn’t imagine going into any other career. The time I have spent in the back of those ambulances has provided some the most rewarding experiences of my life.

It’s amazing that you save people’s lives, especially after that first call where a drunk threatened you. It shows a lot about your character and that you really want to help people.
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible that after your first night instead of running away and saying no way you chose to continue to be a paramedic.
ReplyDeleteI'm suprised to hear that you became a fully certified EMT at such a young age. I personally am certified as an EMT as well, but I work in surgery so my encounters are not "on the scene" as yours are. I've always wondered how well I would perform if I was thrown into an emergency scenario involving strangers.
ReplyDeleteI didnt know that you could become a certified EMT so young, but thats really cool. I'm also trying to major in EHS so i can help save peoples lives. And like yourself I had my own experience that convinced me this was the right field for me, after you have your life saved by an EMT you just cant look at life the same.
ReplyDeleteI feel so unaccomplished reading your blog. You've done so much to be so young. It's great that you found something that you were passionate about early on in your life.
ReplyDeleteIf i could describe your blog in one word it would have to be bravery. We need more people like you in our societies.
