This past weekend, I had the opportunity to learn CPR.  Besides the fact that CPR is a good skill to know anyways, I thought it would be a great idea to do it because I am interested in going into the medical field.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Cornell EMS did a great job explaining the various situations and the steps we should take to perform CPR when necessary; it was also very cool being able to work with other students while learning the steps.  Even though I was nervous about taking the test at the end, it was very low-stress and I was able to receive CPR certification.  I would definitely recommend that anyone learn CPR if he/she has the chance, because it’s pretty simple but it’s something that everyone should know.
