"Confusion. I would say confusion. Everything is new; you never done before; you don't know how you're going to act and I think my first thought was that I didn't want to do anything that would hurt somebody else or make a mistake. I was trying to do my job as best I could and not make a mistake, but it is confusion and you have no idea how you're going to react. Things seem to happen fast. Just after a short time you just did what you were trained to do and make the best decisions you could do at the time and it's over before you know it."
