When people ask me why I choose the profession that I did, a million things come to mind from the moment that my mom called 911 because I myself had stopped breathing at a very young age, all the way to the moments I held the hand of a crying woman whose husband was having a heart attack. This career gave me a purpose in life. What is it, you may ask yourself. I am a paramedic, all because I choose to continue. This strap is a daily reminder to myself that had I not continued there would be quite a few people that I wouldn’t have been able to meet/help. This strap has such a deep meaning to me! As I zip up my boots everyday I work, I am reminded just why I continue every single day. I have pride knowing that not only have I chosen to continue but I have helped others continue also. I love my job and had I not had the strength and help to continue I wouldn’t have had the chance to make a difference in my community each and every single day that I work. Thank you so much for creating such an amazing strap that helps me everyday remember just why I do what I do. Much love, Paramedic Carpenter Fort Bragg, NC
