Modern Day Pilgrimage
Life in an Ambulance
Why?
I would love to take this pilgrimage as it a possible future career for me. Being able to help people, especially going as far as saving lives, is a dream I've had for years. It would be great to be able to finish one of the most difficult long-term challenges I've set for myself.
