It is my belief that in order to be a part of such a crucial process in a person's health, you must have a passion to help others. It is only logical that you would want to be doing what you are doing because otherwise, you will not put as much effort and dedication into your work. You cannot treat EMT as a regular job or as a job at all because helping people should be like an instinct that just takes over. Although I am still young, my limited exposure around patients, through Level one job shadowing, and actually treating patients, which I have been able to do through Sports medicine, my perspective on the medical field has matured and my passion has

    EMT Reflection

    I want to take this course because I know as a Health Care provider that there is so much more knowledge and experience available to make us better at what we do, and how we do it. As an EMT I would always say that I was capable of being more. More, in the sense of knowing that I could help contribute to something bigger than myself someday. And in that capacity it was earning my Paramedic certification to help play a bigger role in the care for the sick and injured. I feel that having this mindset has helped me tremendously overcome some very mentally taxing obsticlals (Paramedic class being one) but it also continues to inspire me to be better than I was yesterday, or on the next 911 call I run.…

    At Hillsborough High School, student athletes try their best during practice in order to prepare themselves for games, but even though the exercise helps students stay healthy and fit, it makes these athletes more vulnerable to sports injuries, which can affect the student. Students with sports injuries who have received help as soon as possible are able to get back into practice and games within a week. But, athletes hate when they have to sit on the sidelines or be benched. So, when students choose to keep injuries to themselves, they may cause the injury to worsen, which makes them have to wait weeks or even when the season ends to recover, causing more disappointment and fear than when they first got injured. “We try to educate our students…

    To gain insight into the life of female student athletes I interviewed a female student athlete at Wright State University. Gabrielle is a senior studying Sports Science who runs Track and Field.

Despite these positive feelings about student athletes, she expressed that she was always busy, is board with team drama, has had injuries, and is constantly exhausted.…
