CPR class

This week for LEAP I had to do a CPR training. It was actually this morning, I had to be at the school at 8 am prepared for learning.  In this training class we had dummies to practice all of our new skills on.  We learned how to give CPR to people of all ages and we also learned first aid information. For the first aid information we learned what to do for every type of sickness or accident.  We learned how to clean up wounds and take care of people who have been hurt.  We also learned how to take care of people who have certain kinds of conditions, like epilepsy, allergic reactions, heart attack, heat stroke, hypothermia.  I feel very informed on how to help people now when they're in need.  It's good that we took this class because all of us LEAPsters are definitely going to need it when we take kids on adventures.  The class wasn't actually that bad, it went by pretty fast before lunch time.  We got a 45 minute break for lunch, but after that a few people left and time went by really slow.  A few people that I'm good friends were the ones that left so the class got a little more boring.  I'm excited to start actually taking kids rock climbing instead of having to do all of this training.  There have been a couple of surfing trips, but they are all when I'm busy.  I hope we get to take kids out soon I'm really happy to work with kids.
