St. John Ambulance Volunteer

On Wednesday, I went to a St. John Ambulance meeting in Mount Waverley for volunteering in the Monash district. It was my first time and it was an awkward experience as I knew no one. As I entered the room, I felt a bit out of place as most of the cadets were not of my age (younger then me). Then randomly an old friend arrived. It's funny due to the fact that we go back ages; in fact back to Grade 5. After that I felt a bit more relaxed. Although, I intended to go to the meeting to meet new people.

It was okay because my old friend introduced me to his friends. We learned DR. ABC. Here's how to save someone's life using DR. ABC

D - Dangers; Check for dangers
R - Response; Cows
A - Airways; Check airways
B - Breathing
C - Circulation

It was an enjoyable experience as I got to meet new people and relearn first aid. I can't wait to get my First Aid Certificate again. I will soon be a St. John Ambulance Volunteer; aka a Johno.
