[Tink]

I earned a 1st place 3 years running in state vocal contests while in high school.
I used to sing at funerals, weddings, and local programs of all sorts. I played guitar and taught myself to play a banjo to provide background music for a bonnie and clyde type production in my jr year. I never picked up a banjo again.

I got to help deliver a baby and remove a pin from a mans hip while in training for my EMT certification. It was cool!

I was given an ultimatum by a drunk boyfriend when I was 15... "put out or walk"... so I walked 6 miles in pouring rain in the dark to the nearest farm; after kneeing him where it hurt!

I reported a superior for sexual harrassment of myself and 5 other women working on the ambulance service. When nothing was done, I called every member on the County EMS board to complain and he was fired within 24 hrs. A few months later he died of brain cancer.
