I think the thing that affected me the most working on the ambulance was the kids and the parents.

It's heartbreaking when it's your town and you know them and they look at you hoping you can give them some good news, and you know the odds are against their child surviving.

I watched my own mother go through this and I will never forget that noise, the noise she made when she saw my brother. He didn't make it. I would spare any parent that pain and agony.

If this program works on even one kid and stops them from making a bad choice that can kill them or someone else, then it should be a mandatory program for all schools.
