I joined St John Ambulance seven years ago because I wanted to do something outside of school that helped other people. Since then, I have completed training courses on topics including first aid and radio communication. I am also trained to teach other cadets and have taught a course on holiday safety.
I was recently named St John Ambulance Cadet of the Year 2005. This came as a huge surprise to me, as all the other nominees in the competition were so talented. I love working with St John Ambulance and being a volunteer has taught me so many different skills. I now want to give back to the organisation by helping other people learn about safety.
