Reflection:

Now that I have researched the EMT I think it is not a job I would want to pursue. The reason I would not want to pursue this job is because I would not want to feel pressured while trying to save someone’s life, if they were to die I would feel the guilt on my shoulders. Living with guilt on my shoulders is not something I would be able to live with. Another reason I would not want to

become an EMT is because I don’t want to see all the bad things that go on in the world I call home.
