Tell me about a time you saved someone’s life lifeguarding at the beach.
A man was swimming out to a buoy, and he was getting too far out so I whistled at him. He started slowing down, and some people on the beach screamed, “oh my god he’s drowning!” I did the emergency action plan, and paddled out to reach the man. But, when I got to him, I realized it was low tide, and the man could touch the ground. He grabbed the board, and I just said, “Touch the bottom.” And he was like, “ohh…”
How do you feel about being campus cutie?
It’s an honor. Who nominated me?!
