so i don't know if you all remember, but i started a new job about a month ago. i got a job as a skills instructor at ucla center for prehospital care in the emt program. the job is pretty much what the title is, i teach emt students the various skills that they are going to be using out in the field when they are working. yesterday i finished my training and have been cleared to teach on my own. let me tell you, i am excited.
ever since i went to emt school at ucla in 2008, i have wanted to be an instructor there. those who taught me were so passionate about what they were teaching, and made such a huge impact on me. i was so ecstatic to finally finish school so i could come work at ucla.
some of the reasons why i am absolutely loving ucla:
1. the students are so excited to be learning. there is nothing more fun than teaching those who want to learn.
2. the students want to hear about my experience. it is kind of crazy to think that people want to hear about my experience going through nursing school and being an emt, and want to get my advice. who would have though that my journey might benefit others.
3. i am getting to work a second job with some simply awesome people from mccormick. there are 5 of us from my station that also teach at ucla, and it has been awesome getting to spend more time with them at another job.
teaching at ucla is such great experience and such an amazing opportunity. i am excited to grow and learn at this new job and look forward to where it is going to take me. go bruins!
and now i am off to the beach! have a good tuesday everyone!
haha. i didn't even know you took this picture. so funny!
