Next on my bucket list is that I would like to travel a lot. My parents worked a lot growing up, so I never really experienced travelling to new places before. Because I am in college and I work a lot, I am not able to travel at the moment. But, in the future, I would like to travel to California (specifically Beverly Hills), Florida (near any beach), go on a cruise to the Bahamas, visit Niagra Falls, etc. I have so many places that I will be considering visiting in my future plans.

The last tasks on my bucket list is learning sign language. Sign language is a form of communication that is used primarily by the deaf community. To me, it is a very unique way to communicate with others who understand sign.

The first task that I have chosen for my Bucket List is to become a certified EMT (Emergency Medical Technician). Both my mom and dad introduced me to this profession because they are certified EMTs. I have watched them perform their job duties and they both enjoy what they do. I actually already completed an EMT class a few years ago, however, I had some temporary health issues surface that led me to put passing the National Certification Exam on the back burner. I put this on my bucket list because I will pass and become certified one day.

I want to travel in the future because I enjoy new experiences and sight-seeing. I believe that I would feel a sense of relaxation from travelling. Also, I believe travelling would be a great way to relieve stress in my life whether that be work stress or personal stress. I want to have the memories from all of the different places so that I can share them with others.

I never really knew how much I wanted to learn and understand sign language until I became employed at current job a year and a half ago. I am a server and occasional bartender at a popular chain restaurant. I have had the opportunity to serve members of the deaf community. It was very interesting and a learning opportunity for me to be able to communicate effectively with them. However, I realized that learning sign language would make the process a lot easier for both the guests and me. I believe that the guests would appreciate and be more comfortable if I could communicate using their language. Learning sign language is an example of intrinsic and extrinsic form of leisure because I want to learn sign language and I want to make the customers feel more comfortable with communicating with me.

Why Become A Certified Medical Technician?

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to become a Certified Medical Technician because I have seen my parents thrive in their profession and truly enjoy it. Since I finished the class, I was given the opportunity to experience and practice hands-on interventions out in the field. There is something about the profession that brings me pure happiness, which is a form of leisure. Not only does an EMT help others physically, but they can also become a safe space and really make a difference in the lives of others. I loved the feeling of helping someone and feeling like I was being a positive figure in someone else's life.

As of right now, I can only travel in the United States because I do not have a passport. I haven't obtained one yet just because I know I am unable to travel at this point in my life. However, I do plan on obtaining one once I finish my degree. Once I have a passport, I plan on travelling outside of the United States at least 3 times in my life.

There are many ways that I can learn sign language. I can take a class here at ODU, take a class online, or take a community class. I would most likely take a class through ODU first, and then depending on how much I learned, I would consider taking a community or online class.

In order to become certified, I have to retake the class and pass the National Certification Exam. For the exam, I have to go online and find an exam site near me. Then I would need to sign up to take the exam. For the class, there are many ways to take an EMT class. I could take the class online (occasional in person classes for hands-on experience), take the class through a community college or trade school, or take the class from an instructor who is employed by an Emergency Service Agency. There is a fee to take the class, but it is very reasonable.
