Training meant a lot of different things to me. I trained as an athlete, winning a couple of figure skating competitions. I trained dolphins, I trained my way to New York City from Connecticut three times a week to study acting until a broken leg derailed my acting career (yes, I also trained as an actor in Stanislavsky and Meisner methods until the cast went on and the mask came off).I was trained as an Emergency Medical Technician when I responded to a call of a pedestrian versus train when I worked for the Stratford Emergency Medical Service. The train had won.
