CERT

So I just joined this class called "CERT" (Community Emergency Response Team) in Folsom! Don't ask why I did it.. haha! I just thought it was high time I gave back to my community and helped out in anyway I can, and also it would look awesome on my resume and transcripts etc.. Haha! So I went to my first class tonight, had no idea what I was getting myself into.. and let me tell you! Its going to be pretty intense! If I pass the first level (8 week course) then if I'm up to it, I could go for level 2 which would make me deployable for any emergencies around the U.S. (haha, I'm just taking it one step at a time for now.). But If I pass the course and make it out alive in the high stress situation course at the end of the class, I will be certified for any emergencies in my community and to help others in need. Tonight was just an over view of what we'll be doing, and I was so excited when I left after class! We'll be learning about EVERYthing and ANYthing about situations where we'll be needed. The class is about 4 hours long per week.. so yeah Its gonna be pretty intense. I met the Fire Chief and Police Chief of Folsom tonight, haha, and they were pretty surprised I wanted to do this at such a young age.. everyone else in the class is older then 28 so.. yeah. Hahaha! Next week we'll be learning how to use different types of equipment, such as fire extinguishers! Haha, and yes, we shall be using real fire to put out! (with fire fighters present) Anyways, just wanted to let you all know about this program! If you want to be more involved in your community, this is great way to start!!

I'll let you know how it goes, and the different stuff we'll be doing along the way!

Peace!
