    Hey girl, hang tough, don't let them give you any shit. I have been a volunteer ff and ems for 13 years. the best thing you can do is don't act like you know more than you do, don't be afraid to ask questions, admit when you don't know something, treat others with respect, but have respect for yourself. you are a good person for doing what you are doing. You are there to make a difference and when you care about the people you are there to help it shows. I'd be glad to help if you want.
