18 hours crash course

Recently, I attended a weekend crash course on life-saving skills.  At the end of the course, you demonstrate what you learned to see if you have obtained such skills.  I went in as a blank page, had some intensive training for 18 hours in one weekend.  Obviously, I did not obtain life-saving skills up to the standards they are looking for.  So... will I be able to recognize someone who needs a rescuing? Maybe?

If I was evaluating myself, I would say that I would be a great bystander to help a rescuer but I did not want to be the rescuer.  As a bystander, I will remain calm, listen to the instructions of the rescuer and assist that rescuer to the best of my ability.

I am not the type of rescuer they are looking for because my rescue will be clumsy, appear questionable and ends abruptly as soon as I feel that I have removed that person from imminent danger.  That is my best as a rescuer.

Anyhow, although I failed to meet their standards, at least now I have some material that I can review and revise whenever I feel like it.   Happy Monday! :)

Carry on~
