Aspen & Misty,

Stick to your guns! EMT classes require total concentration. I know because that's how I started out. I became an EMT at the age of 26 then went on to get my Paramedics license years later.

You can always go to the youth thing later. But the EMT training is very important. Your going on calls and doing your clinical in the Emergency Room will groom you for what you'll see once you get your certification.

I commend you for going for the gold at such a young age. I'm sorry I waited so long, but never regret my decision. It takes a special kind of person to deal with blood and guts, and kiddo, YOU'RE IT!!!

Keep up the good work and tell the pastor it can wait. Let me know how you're doing and remember your ABC's

A=Airway

B=Breathing

C=Circulation
