Overall Experience
My experience has been rewarding, informative and fun.
 |
Since I have begun working with the Red Cross, I have been able to use my teaching skills, my organizational skills, my people skills and my writing skills. I have learned more about emergency services, refreshed my preparedness skills and met many new and interesting people who have interests similar to mine. posted by cbergquist on September 28, 2006 |
