They are trained professionals who remain calm in high-pressure situations. Serving as a source of comfort and reassurance, they work diligently and efficiently to mitigate panic and confusion. Their collaborative efforts lead to successful outcomes. Despite the challenges, first responders continuously serve their communities with dedication and commitment, often risking their own lives to save others. They are everyday heroes who keep us safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephen Alderman is one of these heroes. While he doesn\u2019t consider himself one, he does feel that helping people is, without a doubt, his calling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA hero, to me, is somebody who puts others above themselves and is focused on other people rather than themselves,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I think of a hero, I think of calm in the chaos \u2014 somebody who runs to the rescue when everyone else may be running away. Helping people is my purpose on this earth. I\u2019m 100% confident that God has put me in this spot to do what I do. My form of ministry just so happens to be a job. I minister daily to patients and my crews and make their jobs easier. All I do is give myself away daily, and I love that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diving in&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alderman began his first responder career as a firefighter. However, during his time as such, he fell in love with helping on the medical side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/3-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/3-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/3-3-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/3-3-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Ashleigh Newnes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got my EMT certification and began to take that pathway,\u201d he explained. \u201cDuring my clinical for the EMT class that I took, I was in an ambulance, and I took medical calls. I just kind of fell head over heels for it. I believe it was one of the first clinical [calls] I went on where there was an elderly lady who was having a heart attack. I watched the paramedics and EMTs completely turn her around, get her to a hospital, and save her life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Alderman is the district chief for Williamson Health Emergency Medical Services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been there since 2016. I was quickly promoted through the ranks there and went from a paramedic to a field training officer to a critical care paramedic. Now I\u2019m a district chief,\u201d he said. \u201cWe run 18 ambulances, so it\u2019s a big and busy system. As a supervisor, I respond to high acuity calls like cardiac arrests and any kind of dangerous situations with assaults, stabbings, or shootings. Anytime there are multiple casualty [situations], I will respond to those, and then I can dispatch to other calls that possibly need my help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After hours&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alderdman\u2019s love of helping others also follows him off the job. Currently, he is helping to educate up-and-coming first responders by serving as the instructor for both EMT and Advanced EMT programs at Motlow College.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had some folks reach out to me to see if I was interested,\u201d he said. \u201cOf course once I started doing it, I loved it. I like reaching them from that early stage and teaching them how I would handle and approach things.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/2-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/2-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/2-3-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/10\/2-3-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Ashleigh Newnes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same vain of molding young minds, Alderman works as a character development coach for Tullahoma High School football.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are around the football program as a positive figure and mentor,\u201d said Alderman. \u201cIt\u2019s about getting to know and developing positive relationships with those students. We create lessons that offer a little bit of gospel and a little bit of life lessons here. And we kind of get the feeling of the team through the coaches and how the team is doing, which will dictate where we go with our lessons. I also bring my children along and hope that the kids can see a good father\/son\/daughter relationship.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A legacy of impact&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether Alderman is racing to a call, instructing a class, or on the sidelines, he hopes his impact will be felt and carried on through his influences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am creating a tree, so to speak, of people I impact at my job,\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019ve probably impacted thousands and thousands of people. I want to impact those I\u2019m around positively\u00a0and then see them going to impact others. I want to be positive and to help people. I want people to see what I do and say, \u2018I want to do that. I want to serve like that. I want to be like that.\u2019 And as far as the football team goes, I want to be the person I needed when I was growing up and just display a good role model around kids.\u201d <strong>GN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIRST RESPONDERS are seen as the calm in the chaos for almost all of us.
