    Community is important to me. I grew up in a small town where you knew your neighbors, and chances were that you lived down the street from at least one of your teachers. Where every summer Saturday, the entire block would meet in somebody’s backyard- a fire would be lit, and all of us kids would roast marshmallows and hotdogs, and play on the wooden swing-set, playing out stories and adventures. My community wasn’t just a place where I lived and went to school- it was a family.…

    I was one of the first recruits for the debut of the volunteer program at the Huron Valley Ambulance service and I played a role in shaping the program from within. I was made aware by my instructor that the paramedics were having difficulties accepting the idea of a volunteer program as they worried that volunteers would only be a liability and a chore to babysit. Consequently, I made sure to make myself useful to the paramedics and found them becoming accustomed to my presence. Furthermore, as one of the only volunteers who regularly served, I was approached by HVA leadership to help identify issues that were driving away volunteers.…
