My most meaningful involvement in a student organization was when I was in Gator EMS (Emergency Medical Service). In this organization, all the members were required to have an EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) certification and used the certification to volunteer at sporting events such as swimming meets and 5k runs held at my undergraduate university. While working toward my certification, I acquired knowledge and skills necessary for the assisting people in emergency situations. Gator EMS provided a sense of community and camaraderie that I was able to translate into my volunteering. Having the task of providing care for potentially injured at injured athletes gave me a sense of responsibility and aided my growth and maturation of character.
