Occasionally in life we learn new things. We begin again. Or we learn to walk again. Sometimes we do it because we must, and sometimes we do it because we want to, and sometimes we do it out of necessity (in my mind that's different from the first).
Recently, I began again into a new career/life path. I became an EMT (emergency medical technician). Not a huge accomplishment by most standards (like say a brain surgeon - I don't care who you are, that's gotta be a pretty big accomplishment). Nevertheless, EMS is a valuable, difficult and rewarding field.
Since receiving my numbers (industry short for national/state level registry numbers for EMT/Paramedics confirming you are qualified to perform emergency medicine), I have relearned to "walk" a few times already. i.e. Two employers = two ambulance driving courses. Seemingly redundant, yet, if it was my company, I'd want to see each person drive prior to letting them take one of my trucks and a patient for a spin.
Finally, it's ironic that I've lived in Atlanta (albeit, with some travel and such ignored) my entire life, and yet I just drove thru parts of my city I've never seen before. Here's to learning to walk again in my hometown.
