Hobbies
My hobbies consist of playing sports like basketball and soccer , but most oftenly it is basketball. I gather up with a few girls and my best friend. I also go to my best friends games on sundays to watch her and her team play. Another hobby would be spending time with family every saturday , either to go out and eat or just go visit our family all the way at Oxnard. Another thing I enjoy doing is playing volleyball which is my second favorite sport. I have played for my school and got to district wide with my team which developed my skills, and made me enjoy the sport more.

Ambulance Dispatcher
Ambulance Dispatcher
Duties and responsibilities:
911 emergency dispatchers receive emergency calls by telephone, radio system or computer-aided dispatch system. They question callers to get the information needed to determine an appropriate course of action. They also must create and maintain logs of all calls received and prepare reports as necessary. Experienced 911 emergency dispatchers might assist in training new dispatchers. Their responsibilities consist of receiving calls that come from that area. They're responsible for determining the nature of the calls they receive, as well as the location of the callers. They also are responsible for monitoring the location of emergency service personnel in their assigned territory. Using this information, 911 emergency dispatchers direct the appropriate type and number of emergency service units to emergency scenes. 911 emergency dispatchers must maintain communication with the dispatched units to monitor their response, in addition to maintaining communication with callers to monitor emergency situations and give first-aid instructions if necessary.
Salary:
The average pay for a Police, Fire, or Ambulance Dispatcher is $14.90 per hour. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 20 years' experience in this field.
Education:
Ambulance dispatchers have at least a high school diploma. Some states have advanced or adopted training guidelines for emergency and ambulance dispatchers to ensure a set of uniform standards are followed. Programs and courses are offered through community and technical colleges, state agencies, professional organizations and approved training facilities. In some cases, successful completion of a program leads to voluntary or required certification, though specific requirements vary by state. Training usually covers CPR, emergency prioritizing, intervention techniques and ambulance route planning as well as computer systems used by dispatchers.
Reflection:
Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not? No, I would not want to be one, because this is not my type of job, or something I see myself doing in the future. Although this job has a good pay I don’t like the idea of being an ambulance dispatcher and being behind a computer trying to locate calls, although I’d be helping I feel like there’s people who would do better job than I because I am not interested.
