A career is not unlike your ultimate kit to survival. It transforms you into a better equipped individual. It enables you to finance your daily needs. Not only that, you are able to build a good connection with others.
I am "The Lady Boss," heading a group of young marketers for an advertising firm. Together, we push products and services strategically. But with being a manager, with the nickname to show fir it, comes great pressures and demands.
I am acquainted with parking lot safety using personal alarms after all the late nights I have pulled in for my job. I always take along any of an HP-388 electronic pocket/keychain whistle, a PL-6 personal alarm with flashlight, or my favorite, the PAL-1 130dB personal alarm.
I never thought that my usual late home routine could put my life in jeopardy. I was almost kidnapped, raped, and worse, murdered. It occurred in the parking spaces close to where I work and all I had to count on was parking lot safety using personal alarms.
I was attacked by a masked man as I was going to board my car. He poked my nape with a gun and stifled my mouth, insisting that I board his vehicle instead.
He took a hold of me as I wrestled to free myself and forcefully pulled me into his vehicle. Even while feeling helpless, I remembered what I knew of parking lot safety using personal alarms.
I was able to get my PAL-1 130dB personal alarm out of my bag and immediately pulled the strap attached to the alarm pin. It made a loud sound which probably panicked him, making him drop his gun to the ground. Security guards, alerted by the sound, ran towards the area.
Since that night, I have become an advocate for personal protection. If it were not for valuing parking lot safety using personal alarms, specifically my PAL-1 130dB personal alarm, I could be leading a completely different life today.
