Special Mom’s blog

A few months ago, I blogged about wanting to start doing some online courses. True to my word, I did register myself and started doing non-credit courses. I chose courses that were interesting. In fact, I really am enjoying this online journey. I do not know how much monetary benefit it would give me, but I do know it is giving me knowledge. Knowledge is always power.

But two weeks ago, I got an email saying my Red Cross CPR training had expired and I needed to renew it. Yes, I need to undergo trainings every month so that I can work with my son as his habitat aide, and one of them is the Red Cross CPR training. Today evening, I spent nearly 3 hours working on their online class, and I just finished it. The last time I did it, it was an online class on Zoom with the instructor. But this time, it was a complete online experience. Did I enjoy it? I would not say that as a yes. They had made the course very interactive and saw to it that I did not sleep in the process. I kept remembering the medical dramas I saw on television, and the doctors and paramedics who did those on television came in front of me. Anyhow, I am glad I finished the online portion; I just need to do an in-person class before I can get my certification. I hope to get it in the next couple of weeks. 

I think doing this three-hour course was my highlight of the week. Yes, I did it in one sitting. The certification is valid for two years! So going to bed having achieved something huge.
