Allyson passed her EMT exam on the first try and is now certified as a First Responder. She took a class over many weeks time to learn the material.
A couple of her buddies at the station warned her that many folks don't pass on their initial attempt at this test. She, however, is a very determined young lady! She also knows how to study, perhaps as a direct result of having educated herself at home.
Good luck to you and thanks for volunteering!
