Lifeguard

People have different learning styles. According to the VAK Learning Style Indicators, my learning style is not quite clear. I tend to be physical but very close to visual and auditory. In university, student live in a very intensive environment, so it is very significant to let the student know what their learning style is. Let them concentrate on using the learning style that they are good at. So, I am going to introduce my current learning style, the tasks I find easiest or difficult and the…

Hartley Nature Center Service Reflection Driving up to Hartley Nature Center, the prominent respect for nature is immediately evident. When I first arrived at Hartley, Brett expressed to me that the Nature Center is dedicated to inspiring life-long connections to nature through education, play, and exploration. Even after only a few minutes of being at the center, I could see that the mission they wish to ensue was being acted out all round me. Everyone there was enjoying nature in their own…

the pool, while sweat drips down my face. Young kids are running around, screaming to each other from across the pool. As soon as I hear pitter-patter of their footsteps I immediately, without thinking, yell, “walk please!” in my kind but firm “lifeguard” voice. From the corner of my eye, I see a young mom strolling toward the towel rack, dressed in her designer cover-up and oversized sunglasses. Just from the look of it, I can tell exactly what she is about to do. Please don’t do it, please…

There are several reason why I believe I am a good candidate for the Duke TIP Field Studies program. First, I am passionate about becoming a doctor and I believe this program will further my education in the medical field significantly. The three principle reasons that my dream career is becoming a doctor are my sister's anorexia, my experience with fingertip warts, and my inherent interest with the human body and orthopedics. When I was nine, my eleven year-old sister became anorexic. I watched…

In today’s media, specifically music videos, there are quite often distinct gender representations. This is shown in the music video “Girls on Film” by Duran Duran. This music video was published in 1981, expected to be played at night clubs and the “Play Boy” channel (Girls on Film, n.d., para. 4). The raunchy video created an uproar, and it was consequently banned by the BBC and heavily edited for MTV (Girls on Film, n.d., para. 4). This caused the band to gain more spot light and furthermore,…

heavy loads for its masters as draft and pack animals, tow lines from ship to land in choppy seas as ship dogs, and rescue errant swimmers.The Newfie was so accomplished in its ability to save the drowning that at one time they were required at lifeguard stations along the British coast. Indeed, to this day, they are remarked upon for being watchful of swimmers, for not allowing their people to go too deep, and for pulling people…

another misfortune? In this case, if the person or a summoned professional rescuer (i.e. life guard) jumps into the water to attempt a rescue, then their wellbeing is also at risk and may result in four casualties (the two individuals, the person/lifeguard, and the hypothetical shark/sea creature). So, a Utilitarian person would attempt to save the most number of beings by jumping into the water to save both individuals and themselves (it is unclear if the person is capable of swimming). Thus,…

Having spent many years going to North Devon for holidays or to visit family, I had never until about two years ago ever visited the area that is known as Croyde Bay. Situated on the road out of Braunton (which is its nearest largest village hub with lots of shops and other services), it is on the coast that faces the Atlantic Ocean. How to get here For most people who are travelling from anywhere in the country apart from Cornwall, then access to Croyde is generally through Barnstaple - the…

The Art of Swimming Lessons Trying a new activity for the first time can be challenging as well as a frightening experience. In our complex that we lived in at the time with many other families and children of the same age as me was an outdoor swimming pool, smack dab in the centre of houses. You couldn’t avoid it, its crystal waters gleaming at your through the fence that surrounded the pool. I enjoyed being in the water; that wasn’t the issue, the problem I faced was the deep, ominous depths…
