Lifeguard: Five Things I Learned From It
I live in the beautiful sunshine state, Florida. Compared to others, I may have gotten into the life-guarding gig a little late (I started at twenty-two), but I figure every person who lives in a state with beaches lining it up and down ought to try being a lifeguard at least once in their life. In the city of Orlando, there are a lot of water parks, and I happen to work in the newest one: Volcano Bay.

If you have opened this up on a lark, then it might just give you a good chuckle or two.

And it's immensely frustrating whether it is your profession or you're like me, and it's something you enjoy.
