Every call was an adventure, every patient a puzzle. There is a type of serenity in this dynamic world. Nothing else mattered when the lights were on and sirens were blaring. McGregor Memorial EMS allowed me to express myself and pursue this fascination, surrounded by like-minded individuals. I rose to the rank of crew chief, placing me in charge of ambulance operations for each scene I went on. I volunteered as an EMT for a year before becoming certified as an Advanced EMT, expanding my treatments to include intravenous and intraosseous access, and a wide variety of medications. I spent 50 clinical hours at Concord Hospital, a Level 1 Trauma Center, working hand in hand with nurses and doctors. I have now volunteered over 900 hours with McGregor, not only as an EMT but as Co-Chair of the Community Relations committee, promoting Mcgregor’s visibility within the three communities it serves. I am committed to assisting McGregor in any aspect I can, as a my way of saying “thank you” for all that it has allowed me to achieve. Though it was heartbreaking to realize that my drive for skiing was only leading me to a dead end, the EMS community reenergized me, and reminded me of what is most important in this
