Becoming A Paramedic

My eyelids slowly unfasten from one another to a stentorian alarm. I turn off my alarm. Half my body wants to get up and go, and the other half just wants to go back asleep.

As the coming years approach, I want my future to hold both the passion to explore new opportunities and the strength to overcome new challenges. With the experiences of my high school career, I aspire to take all the things I learned to transition into a college environment where my ideas can be challenged and shared. Where I can learn from others; where I can seek the opportunity to make a direct impact towards saving lives. I believe I can do great things. Through tenacity I will not only be gratified in becoming a doctor, but also be able to share my compassion for others through

Growing up I was always exposed to the medical field because my mom worked in the emergency department in the local hospital. When I graduated high school, I got a job working in the construction field making a great salary, for as young as I was. Because of this, I continued to work in this field for the next eleven years. It wasn’t until I was 29 years old when I got laid off of my construction job and my whole world came crashing down on me. I moped around for a month but quickly realized that this is now my time to pursue my dream of becoming a Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). That next summer I enrolled at Aims Community College in

It started when my father was in the hospital. I saw him lying on the off-white, uncomfortable bed sheets in such discomfort that my only hopes were to reduce his suffrage and alleviate any mental, physical, or emotional agony that arises. From this point on, to this day, I know I want to attend a university to pursue my goal of becoming a Nurse. Over the course of high school, I have been searching for a college with top notch academics and a captivating community enriched with passion and success; the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has the embodiment of such an institution. The moment I stepped foot on the campus of University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, I envisioned my future path, and I came to discover that UW Oshkosh is “Where Marisah

People express the decisions they reach each day and their desire to alter some of the outcomes. As I observe the world around me, some just graduating high school ours rebuilding themselves for something better in life. Everyone is striving to be something in life; it’s as if the returns are boundless by the time you graduate college. Just learning to watch people and the decisions they make can affect the means which I adopted to pick my profession. Becoming a paramedic educated me on surveying people and their habits. Being empathetic amongst the things you do, sometimes comes with a penalty, others come with admiration. The unique obsession that urges me to exceed each time is knowing that each human being is helped, through everything

As of right now in high school, I am a Lifeguard for the city of Tucson, I've been a lifeguard for four years. Therefore, i am currently only a Emergency Medical Responder, which is only a EMS certification level that describes the level of EMS provider below that, of an Emergency Medical Technician along with a Paramedic. Which is commonly used. A first responder is the first medically trained personnel who come into contact with an injured or sick patient. Therefore, going further into this type of work force I will not only get me a better education but also a high, much better salary. Earning more money for doing a more important job than I do now will be a big pay off, on top of that feel more successful.

Terminal Objective: Given a preceptor and a clinical site, a field-paramedic should be able to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the information given from the first 6 modules without error.

My day begins with the obnoxious ringing of my phone’s alarm clock. The alarming sound itself, although annoying, is consonant and would otherwise be appreciated if it was not seven in the morning. This morning I did notice something different when waking up in that I chose a high pitch, but pleasant song in order to wake me up. The pitch of the song is enough to get me awake and the consonance of the song is also enough to make me happy. After going through this thought process and waking up, I finally get dressed and go on my way to school.

Hard skills, hard skills are something that you can be taught to do such as being taught how to do multiplication. In the paramedic field you have many hard skills that would be used on a daily basis one being able to know how to understand and communicate with dispatch and other departments such as fire or police using codes another hard skill that you would use in the field is operating lights and sirens on the way to a sene where being dispatched to or being able to stock the ambulance each shift so you can have the needed supplies in case you need more of the supplies so you don’t run out of something that chould potientally save a life there are many hard skills needed in the paramedic field but there are also many soft skills that are

So as I look into my future plans out of high school I plan on extending my wonderful education to Red Rocks community collage or Meto university. The whole reason I choose those schools is because I wana become a fire fighter. Going to these schools will help me in the put my self through the goals and making new ones. So many people wana become a firefighter and I think that I will be capible of grasping one of the open spots to join a firestation or a EMT truck. To become a firefighter has been a big team and goal in my life and If I cannot make it as a firefighter I think that I would become a EMT for a firestation because all I wana do is help people.

I’m awakened by sudden loud footsteps. Groggily, I roll over and yawn as my eyes adjust on the digital clock that sits atop my nightstand. The big red letters read 2:17.

You wake up to the dreadful sound of your alarm clock. "Ugh, is it 7:00 am already" Groggy, you wipe the sleep from your eyes and climb from bed.

I wake up slowly, peacefully. For once not being woken up crying, or having to rush to be somewhere. It's nice. I actually had good sleep last night, except for Scarlet calling me to pick her up. I stretch in bed, then decide that I need a cup of coffee. Not wanting to get up I thinking to Scarlet.

My bed creaks beneath my weight as I roll over to my side to glance at my alarm clock, seated on my bedside table.

The alarm clock blared as six o 'clock struck. I groggily climbed out of bed to
