Quotes:

“He is a wonderful individual who is determined and committed to having a bright future in medicine. He is hardworking and works closely with me as EMT’s. He is great with patients and has a nice rapport with them, helping them feel comfortable in stressful scenarios. He thinks quick on his feet and works well in a prehospital setting, making do with the little time and resources we have with each patient before getting them to the ER. He comes to work every day prepared and balances a difficult school schedule on top of his job. I don’t know many other individuals who are as dedicated to creating as strong of a future for themselves, and the hard work is inspiring. I think he deserves this scholarship as a reward for all that he does daily.”

~ Sydney Villalobos – EMT-Basic
