Introduction!

Hello, people of the Internet!  Oh, look at me, acting like anyone will actually read this.  How hopeful.  I guess this is when I should tell you a little about myself, huh?  Well, my name is Jen.  I am nineteen at the time of this post, and will be until October.  I am a crafty lady, I knit and I crochet, and I tat.  I have a thing for vinyl records.  I am a lesbian.  I am a licensed hairstylist in the state of Indiana.  I play roller derby.  And....I am an EMT student.  I will eventually become a paramedic.

Well, that's me.  I'm really not that much fun to talk about, huh?  Well, let's start the whole journey.  When I decided to go into Emergency Medical Services (EMS).  My mom went to the hospital for chest pain.  I went with her.  I walked out of the room for a moment, and there, leaning against the wall in all his uniformed glory, was an EMT.  I had never thought about it.  I mean, my mom is an respiratory therapist, so I was raised in hospitals.  EMTs and Paramedics just sort of....were.  But I digress.  He was there, and that's that.  I thought about how exciting that job must be, and the most excitement I got being a hairstylist was when granny got her perm done.  So, I went home and I looked up information about EMS.  I found that it sounds like exactly what I'd like to do, and there was an EMT class in a few months.  I talked to my mom about it, and she said she had always hoped I'd go into the medical field.  She said it would be a great career for me.  So I looked into the class, signed up, and here we are.  =)

I JUST had my first class last night.  I am about to write another post about that tomorrow.


Stay safe.
Jen
