Red Cross — Here I Come!
Well, I’ve said it a lot here recently. I want to be my mother when I grow up. After all, I’m very proud of the work she does for the American Red Cross. I’m proud that she’s a nurse and that she’s a take-charge kind of woman (when my dad isn’t around). The fact that she sacrifices herself so often to help others is something that fills me with awe. I want to be less selfish and more helpful.
Mind you, I’m not a nurse so I can’t actually follow in her footsteps, but today I began the process to work on local Disaster Action Teams for the Red Cross. I have the volunteer paperwork to fill out. I’m signed up for two classes over the next two months — would have been three but my day job actually got in the way of one. There are apparently five classes I have to take to start with.
So, we’ll see if I have what it takes. I’m definitely ready to do something other than sit idly by and watch disaster after disaster and just make donations of some sort. I want to help somehow.
