Who I am

I have done a lot of talking about what I am preparing for but not a lot about me. As I have said I am 21 and living under my fathers roof.  I was a EMT-B for the last 3 1/2 years, I am currently not  with and ambulance but have a application in with a local fire department.  I got my love of medicine from my dad, when I was about 4 he was a EMT-Fire fighter and I use to go with him to the department and fell in love with that. I became a EMT as soon as I was old enough.

My love of midwifery came when my little sister "Princess Dragon Snack" was born. I love the atmosphere in which she was born. It was  very calm and mom and baby where right where they belong. I felt called at that time to be a midwife and have been working off and on for about three years to that goal. Besides me not studying like I should have a lack of births in this area has been a deterrent from getting my CPM (Certified Practical Midwife) I was the primary midwife for my little brother "Master Calvin's" birth. Even though he was born in the hospital (he needed a little persuasion ) I loved every minute of it.

I have a ham license though I still do not know how to use it! I have not found a ham operator to teach me that can speak in English they only speak in ham.

I also keep honey bees. I love the bee's though they are hard to keep. I have not gotten any honey for the last two years and am not sure what I am doing wrong but I am sure in time I will figure it out. They are fascinating creatures and I love watching them, and nothing can beat fresh honeycomb.

Well that is all for now. Thank you for looking.

Introduction

Hello, many of you may remember me as Trauma Queen or know me as Maid Elizabeth. But for those of you who are new I will introduce myself. I am a 21 year old woman living under my fathers roof and am planning a mission trip to the Philippines June, July and August of next year.

I am currently a checking at our local grocery store to earn money to fund my trip. I have been training to be a midwife for the last 3 years( although, I have not studied as I should have) but we  do not have the numbers of births in a year that I need to be certified.Over in the Philippines I will attend 25 to 30 births a week so I will be getting plenty of experience.  I have currently saved up enough for the plane ticket and am working on my room and board.

I am quite excited to experience the culture and help the ladies who need help. In the Philippines out of ever 1000 births 200 mothers or children die. If you go to a hospital without money in hand they will send you home to labor as best as you can. Only the wealthy can afford to go to a hospital.

When I come back to the States I will have enough births to take my midwife test and start my own practice. Well that is about all of that in a nut shell. Thank you for looking and please come back.
