No blood, No guts. No fun
For the past month and a half I’ve been taking an EMT course at a junior college about an hour away from here. It has been so much fun, and I’m learning a lot. I have had 3 quizzes so far and 1 skills test, and passed all of them with no problem. I never thought this would be possible, considering I thought I was retarded after I became a Christian because of all the LSD I had consumed over the years. God has healed my mind over time
What I really like about the EMT class is the hands on stuff. I can’t wait until I get to do my ambulance ride-along and clinical time in the ER, which is on St. Patties Day, so you know I’ll be seeing some craziness that day. I only have to do 5 hours each, which isn’t very much considering that Paramedics (which I hope to be someday) have to do 450 hours of ambulance time, and 200 hours in the ER
All I have to say is when I’m in the ER or on my ride-along, I want to see some stuff.
Not because I’m a sick disturbed individual, or because I like to see people all bloody and hurt, or some geriatric go into cardiac arrest. No, I just want to be there when it happens. Why, you may ask, does Curtis want to be there? He must be sick in the head. No, I just want to know what to do when it happens. I want to be able to help people at that time of their life when they need someone there to help them.
Well I guess that’s just they mind of a EMT student, always waiting for someone to go down where ever we are, cause we think we know it all.
Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll let you know if I get to see anything worth writing about.

i hope it doesn't sound weird for me to say this, but i'm really proud of you... not that i consider myself anybody really...usually you hear that from someone you look up to, like your dad or something... but it's not like that... if anything i'm more like your little sister or something... but anyways, i guess it's just that i had wanted to be a nurse at one time, for similar reasons of wanting to help people... but i definitely couldn't ever get through the blood and guts stuff... and also i think it's really good for people like us to pursue things that are important to us... i'm considering going back to school myself but i still get really nervous when i think about it... like i just don't have what it takes or something... i have a heart for teaching, but i just don't feel smart at all... anyway.. if anything, i'm trying to say i look up to you, and i'm inspired... and am stoked for you...
I am really, really proud of you! I am so glad you have enough courage to go after something you want and believe that you can do. God will provide a way for you since He put this desire in your heart. I know that you will help many people because you are a caring and compassionate person.
