I chose to shadow Laura Elford. I have known Laura for almost 15 years. Laura and her husband are both firefighters and they both love to help people. She has one of the biggest hearts and she is very smart. The reason why I chose to shadow her was because I knew I wanted to go into the medical field but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. My family and I had gone to her house to hang out with her and her family. When we went their, she had asked me what I wanted to do/what I was planning to do after I graduate. She was more than happy to offer me to shadow her and told me a few things about a paramedic. Before graduating she was also in a similar situation and chose to become a paramedic.
Laura is such a strong women and she loves to care and help people. In fact, when I was about 8 years old she had helped me after I busted my shin opened on a corner of a wall at a pool. I don't think I would've liked any one else who tried to help me. She is so awesome and so easy to have a conversation with. She is so much fun too. After Laura graduated high school, she attended Columbus State Community College for 2 years to get a paramedic card. Then too training through a fire academy for 7 months. She loves her job a lot.
