the most rewarding part about helping
others I feel like people look up to me
and they believe in me and that always
keeps me going
[Music]
my name is Ernesto Saudi and I'm from
Austin Texas I graduated on June 8th of
2019 and I graduated from doe Valley
High School
I thought it was so awesome to help you
pull out because when I was younger I
would always see how much doctors would
do for me
I have something called holt arm
syndrome and it's basically the Abner
medal ARPA normalities of the hands and
arms and they like cause heart problems
as well that's why I got surgery and
that was like nine years old I'm missing
a thumb and a few other fingers but like
I'm missing my thumb because I don't
have a radius and we have my own so
that's why in my hands also like very
short from here I decided to enter the
whole program when I started my freshman
year of high school I decided to be in
the CP CT program which stands for the
certified patient care technician what
they do is they're like a nurse
assistant they think the patient may
help save the patient they're just there
for like the patients need and anything
that we she needs they help them out
certified PCT and just like a regular
PCT which is actually the Bulls new
thing but one requires certification and
so in order to become certified you do
need to actually study a lot in order to
pass this test that I believe contains
120 questions

practicum was from mondays to fridays it
was we we went every day of the week
basically pretty much and we went to the
st. Davids hospital
come on the skills that I developed in
the health science program and the PCT
program was we learned to take vital
signs which like we take the patient's
temperature check their polls also we
like help them we go to the shower or to
the restroom
everywhere like change them and stuff
like that I learn how to like how to
speak to a patient better and how to
understand them whenever they need
something
I love being in the PCT program because
I enjoyed helping other people out like
when I was there a lot of people came
like a they used me for like to
translate and stuff like that sometimes
and so it was really nice to know that
people like trusted me like taking care
of them and stuff cuz I didn't think
they would trust me but they did so I
was very happy about that
and I guess I would say that I learned
to do many things at anything I was
going to be able to do so I do want to
work first as a PCT to see if I'm
enjoyable job and to see if I can
actually do very well at it so that that
will help me gain experience
I plan to go to a CC for the finishing
program and become a nurse there and
then transfer to a anaesthesia school
later on and pursue my dream
you
