save a life. I know that I can actually put my training to use in emergency(紧急情况), whether it's to save the life of a family member, a friend or someone in the community.”
Filled with enthusiasm(热情), Erikka says，“There are so many areas in my life where I can use my first aid training. For example, I'm an athlete and I play lots of different sports. Things can happen on the field or at an athletic event, where my training could make a big difference and all of us babysit, which means you never know when you will be called upon in the case of an emergency. I am really glad I've had this training because I can use it again and again！”
