Hello! Is there anyone here who ever had a chance to ride an ambulance? Not a parked, stationary ambulance, but a live ambulance with the lights blinking and the sirens blaring (gesture lights and sirens).

(If someone answers, ask if as a patient or passenger) Well, to those who have not had the chance to ride one, let me ask you this. Do you find it infuriating when an ambulance zigzags through traffic and pushes its way like a bully, only for you to find that there is no patient and no passenger inside? It’s just the ambulance driver driving like a bully?

Long ago, I had that feeling. But that was until I personally had the chance to ride an ambulance myself. Good evening everyone.

Good Evening Toastmasters!

You guys still remember my recent wonderful speech entitled “That Extra Mile”, right? That speech was my contest piece where I told the story of my first time to ride a plane, go to the U.S. and meet an incredible person by the name of Jim Bradley. Yes?

Now, if you remember, after helping me at the airport, Jim helped me register in a motel just for an overnight stay. So you still remember it up to that point.

Way back when I was 24 years old, I had a wonderful opportunity – and that was to go work in the United States for 3 months. The US office for the company I worked for needed temporary help to finish a critical system in the US.

Being one of the more senior programmers in the Philippines office, I was selected to assist in the project.
