I never thought I could find a job that I would ever truly enjoy and would be good at. Trust me, I tried many different jobs, from childcare to the military, modeling, publishing books, and more. You name it, I probably tried it or will one day. EMS was a chapter in my story that I never expected. I sat in lectures and felt smart for the first time in my life. I enjoyed going home after work to study. I found myself excited to go to a class. I truly thought I was going to fail when I enrolled in the class, but instead, I found something I loved. I found my new beginning in health care.
