Today I had the pleasure of riding along with two advanced EMTs from Gold Cross. I have always gone with the Fire crews. It was fun to see how the two groups work together to get things done and provide the best care they can. It was a slow day as far as calls go, but I learned a lot from Jen and Ervin. As we were washing the rig and wiping it down, we were talking about the importance of getting along and meshing with your partner. If you can trust your partner and know that they have your back, your job becomes much less stressful and easier to do. Every time I go on a ride, I learn something new that I will never forget and walk away wanting more. I was treated as an equal while riding with them. That meant a lot to me! I feel we all had a good time and got a long well. I hope that when I'm put with a partner I can mesh with them as well as these two do. I can't wait to actually work in the field and go somewhere long enough to get to really know the people that I'm spending my time with.
On a little bit of a different note, this past weekend I had the chance to go down to Zion National Park with my mom, two of her friends and their daughters, and my good friend Whitney. We couldn't have asked for better weather and company. We all had a blast! Here are a few pictures.
I'll try to keep writing regularly. Life has been so good to me! I can't wait to see what tomorrow and the future brings!
Until next time,
Katie
