This past weekend, I had the honor of becoming CPR certified. I believe that everyone should have at least a general knowledge of CPR, because you never know if you’ll be in a situation in which someone needs their life to be saved. Every single day we face dangers that can possibly lead to needing CPR— yet simple and easily learned procedures can help prevent this. This knowledge can be invaluable when someone is in medical distress. Knowing these things in a medical emergency can mean the difference between life and death.
