Lifeguard Wanta Be

          Only another month until the NLS course! I can hardly wait to get that done and over with. Waiting almost feels like torturer. I’m excited to think that in only a couple months I could be working as a lifeguard. I’ve wanted to since I was thirteen. My dream is finally coming true. I will say, working with my former instructors will be a little weird. But I’m really too excited to think about that. I think teaching the lessons and courses will be my favorite part! I love working with the kids and seeing them progress.

Last fall and winter I helped my friend with his lessons and had tons of fun! The kids were all different and awesome. The only problem I have is getting attached to the kids. J  I was teaching kids who were only 4 years old. They were adorable! In one class there all boys except me and this little girl. She quickly became my little buddy. She was so sweet. I had a lot of fun helping him with his lessons. The experience was great. I wrote out the lesson plans a few times and was able to teach the class which was a great bonus.

My favorite course so far has to be my AWSI class. There were sixteen of us in total, which is a really large class! We had so much fun! For a few days we went outside on the lawn to work on our first Aid. It was probably the class with the most drama in it as well. It was a pretty easy course. However, half way through the course one of the girls got up and said she didn’t think she wanted to do it anymore. The course is a couple hundred dollars and to say that, is a little shocking. Anyways, I could sit here and talk about lifeguarding forever. However, I don't want to bore you. :)
