Re: Things That Made You Happy Today

Hello everyone,
yesterday evening and this morning I took 2 important exams that concluded a Training Course begun on December 5th, 2017.
Finally I can call myself an EMT -- and I am proud of it.
Months of lessons, months of study, months of efforts on simulations, months of ambulance, months of dinners interrupted, nights half-slept, hours spent in unpleasant climatic conditions, lots of suffering persons seen, some of which so young and so beyond rescue.
It has been a hard exam. No sooner than the last month they decided to change rules and attitude and become far more selective than they have been for the last 20 years(!), thus causing the unexpected rejection of over 50% of the examinees on average, even for the high and mighty Red Cross. Truly an hecatomb of candidates across the board... I have seen valid and motivated persons being rejected over the smallest things, as if the untold imperative from above was "send them home on any excuse".
And yet I was promoted the Certification is mine !!!
No words can express how I felt when I finally signed the exam's verbal. On my way out of the room I must have floated, because I do not recall myself walking
Well, this is it -- What made me happy today.
Wish me Luck!
and thanks for reading : )
