On Thursday, my son Aidan went on his first ride-along in an ambulance as part of his EMT training. He said they picked up several people who were drunk or on drugs and also someone with a heart problem. He said he enjoyed it.
From the time he was tiny, his Mom and I noticed a certain quality Aidan has: empathy. He always seems to understand what other people are experiencing, feeling.
When you meet him, and say "How are you?" He always answers, "How are YOU?" I think he will make a great EMT, paramedic and firefighter.
He's got the right stuff to help people. And I am proud of him for that, and a lot of other reasons.
