🌟 Introducing the TSTC EMS Student Spotlight! 🌟
The TSTC EMS Program is excited to begin a new tradition of recognizing the outstanding students who represent the heart of EMS.
Each month, we will highlight one student from one of our five EMS cohorts who demonstrates the compassion, professionalism, work ethic, and dedication that define the EMS profession.
Our first-ever TSTC EMS Student Spotlight is Colton Dollar!
Colton is a student in the TSTC Abilene EMT class and is from Anson, Texas. Outside of EMS, Colton is a big-time waterfowl hunter and an avid outdoorsman.
Colton has a passion for serving others, whether they are sick, injured, or experiencing one of life’s most difficult moments. A self-described adrenaline ju**ie, he brings energy, dedication, and a willingness to step up when it matters most.
Recently, during a challenging clinical call in a difficult environment, Colton volunteered to put on a Tyvek suit and immediately stepped into patient care. His initiative, courage, and commitment to helping others reflect the qualities we strive to build in every TSTC EMS student.
When asked why he chose EMS, Colton shared:
“I decided to be the change in the world that I wanted to see. In John 13, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet and served them. I believe I am called to serve like Jesus did, and I plan to serve in that way throughout my EMS career.”
Congratulations, Colton! We are proud to have you represent the TSTC EMS Program as our very first Student Spotlight. We look forward to continuing this new tradition and recognizing more outstanding students in the months ahead!
