Midland College instructor Leland Hart is a modern-day superhero. He is an ordained minister, a licensed paramedic, a deployable member of the National Disaster Medical Assistance Team and teaches Emergency Medical Services classes. "For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a firefighter," Hart said. "I got my associate degree here at MC in EMS. I love what I do, and I would not change a thing." EMS workers such as Hart make an immediate and noticeable difference in peoples' lives. "I may not remember specific incidences, but I know I helped someone," Hart said. "I help students every day at MC, as well. I help them master a very specific set of skills to get their licenses. Now, for every life my students save, I feel like I have played a little part in helping their patients, too. It is cool to think there are thousands of people out there, and I had just a little part in their lives."
