rescue squad
rescue squadI always want to say something profound. Something to make everyone stop for a moment and think. Something to put life into perspective. Instead, words seem to fail me when I need them most and I end up quoting someone else. But every once in a while, probably not even once a year, when I'm not looking to do so, I say or write something witty or something on the edge of profound. Now, however, is one of those times when I must rely on someone else to put into words what I would like to say.
"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity..." -Gilda Radner
Just like this blog, apparently. There's no clear beginning, middle, or end; I'm just writing what's going through my head. There's a lot that I keep inside and don't share with everyone.I'm not exactly sure where this is going. I suppose it's more or less a reflection post.
If you had asked me when I was 14 where I would be ten years into the future, being a member of the rescue squad would not have crossed my mind even once. Nor would have my being a bank teller, or a substitute teacher. (Yes, I do wear many hats. I was even the photographer for my cousin's wedding this past summer. And that's not including all the babysitting I've done in my lifetime.) Even just a couple of years ago, during my senior year of college, rescue was not something anyone would have thought I'd be interested in doing. When I did join and I called my roommate, she was in disbelief. She had told me stories of when she was a junior explorer in New Hampshire, but she never thought I be one to volunteer for rescue. Neither did I at that point in my life. I suppose everyone has my cousin to thank for my joining the rescue squad. It was the only place and time there was to spend any time with her. Now I'm there and she's not (so much)--but in her defense she is in the [EMT] intermediate program at the college.
I really do enjoy rescue, even though I have to put up with the bs calls, and the calls that break your heart, it has become a huge part of my life. It's an ongoing learning process to know how to distance yourself enough for you to do your job--to help someone in need--but not so much so that you become unhuman. I've learned SO much since I joined last April, from the members here themselves and my EMT class I started in September. I'm starting to stress and worry about testing for my EMT. I have my final written exam for class on Wednesday and the state test on Feb. 16, and the closer that day draws near, the more nervous I get.
Anyway, like I said, I have no idea where this blog is going. But I think I'm done for now.
