While on duty during my first summer as a lifeguard, I spotted a small girl motionless at the bottom of the pool. I sprung to action, dived into the water and pulled the child up to the pool deck. Although I had trained for this situation, the moment was one that no amount of training could prepare you for. I performed round after furious round of CPR until the little girl 's chest finally heaved. It was a moment of relief and triumph; one that made abstract concepts like swift intervention,…

My Mindset On Water There are approximately 7.7 billion humans on earth. Every one of us is dependent on water the minute we are born.

As far back as I can remember I have wanted to do something that helped others and made a difference somewhere.

By watching a…
