Getting into the swing of things...

So far the New Years has been kind, I think. Still getting ready for the transition from employee to student. If I'm lucky, College will go smoothly, but thus far the road is not paved.
So, when and how often does one write one of these blog things? I think daily my be excessive, my life is too bust to do that. I know ppls use their iphone to blog, but I'm holding out for the new Google phone. I just want to be different. I was thinking about the new HTC Hero, but I don't know enough to consider switching cell phone providers. K. Off topic.

The past week has been interesting. The college rang me up and need a copy of all my vaccinations to date, a Criminal Rec Check and a Resume with Cover letter. I thought is was a little much but that I remembered for a lot of the training and course I'll be working in the ER of the local hospital. Lucky Me I have a recent Crim Rec because of my volunteer work, and I have records of all my shots... lol ( I sound like a dog, having my shots and all). now, the tricky part was the cover letter. How on earth to you write a cover letter to enter a EMT-A course. It just baffled me a bit, but I'll post what I came up with. I may omit some key points of my location, but hopefully you my point will get across. My it help others.

Here's some good news. I'm slowly gaining more mass. I'm up 8lbs in three weeks. Booya Baby. Now at 203lbs and still bulking. It feels nice to be getting my body back. I was a natural body builder six years back. My boyfriend at the time loved it, but dumped my ass when I put myself in the hospital from a big snowboarding accident. Was so bad. I came close to destroying my back. Tore so much muscle and was temperately paralyzed from it. Sucked so muck. Scary too. Went from 225 of lean muscle to 165lbs. Skinny guy. My BF at the time got scared I guess and left me. Couldn't really blame him. No one wants to date a disabled person. I would, and have, but I'm a unique person. I'm very lucky that I got away only having sciatica. Its a chronic disorder where you always have back pain, but I can manage it. Geee... I think its the first time since the accident that I've topped 200... That realization has be pumped. Happy tomorrow is leg day. I'm gonna push so hard. Yaaa!!!

Cheers

Here is the Cover letter:

Dear ***********;


I am applying in response to the Emergency Medical Technician program. I wish to enroll and complete this program so that I may enter a career in the medical field.

I am a hardworking individual: quick, eager to learn and attempt new things. I have the ability to adopt skills and knowledge from others and incorporate them into my practice. I am mechanically inclined and understand the functionality as well as the limits of equipment to become a very efficient student. I streamline tasks and am very capable of working in a team environment or unsupervised. When required, I am resourceful to accomplish a job. I have had the privilege of developing great safety, communication, people and record keeping skills, as well as being task-oriented and very conscientious about the quality of my work.

Presently, I am employed full-time at ************* as a *************** Specialist, and a volunteer First Medical Responder with St John Ambulance. You may find further details of my employment history in my attached resume.

For the greater part of my life I have been a part of the health and safety, and the first-aid industry. As a child I had obtained my standard first-aid certificate and maintained it fully. In my early teens I obtained more advanced care and my NLS (National Lifeguard Services) certificate. As I entered adulthood I became a Red Cross First-aid instructor for the Baby Sitting guidelines, and a NLS instructor/trainer for the province of Alberta. I took extra training in college and obtained my AFLCA (Alberta Fitness and Leadership Certification Association) where I began personal training. I now have obtained my EMR certificate and wish to proceed on to my EMT-A.

Currently, I am looking to establish a long-term career with a respectful employer when this program is completed. With my experience and learning ability, I feel that I would be a valuable student within your program.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me at the above telephone number. I look forward to discussing my qualifications and experiences with you in person.

Thank you for your consideration of my application for your program.

Sincerely,
