shame on me.

I was in town today, and as usual I was heading to Starbucks. But todays trip was different to any other. I saw a boy begging people passing by to help save his father from dying! His father was having a severe epileptical fit and the boy was doing his best to stop him from choking on his tongue.I stood there helpless. I didn't know how to help him so as soon as I saw someone rushing off to get help I walked away. The truth is I was scared. I feel pathetic right now. So I'm going to try and change that. I've applied to the St Johns Ambulance service. You pay them to train you in first aid and you work for them on a voluntary basis at shows and football matches. Never again am I going to walk away from something like that. I'm ashamed that I know nothing of first aid. Can you imagine if I'd been the only person there? I'd have had to watch him die. I couldn't have lived with that. The father survived because someone else thankfully knew what to do.
