My name is Fan, I'm 16 years old. There are many features about me but this is one I would like to share. I have been swimming competitively since third grade, when I joined th e school swimming varsity team. We trained from six to nine every morning, wit hout resting even during summer and winter vacation. Though the training was n o where near comfortable as we constantly chased the timer, we certainly learn ed much pushing our limits. Thanks to the training I can take more stress on a nything, which is very helpful since i have chose to join the National Taiwan University lifeguard training. Just a day before the sign up date, I heard about the lifeguard training, thus I made a d ecision that to do something to fill up my leisure time. In fact, i had been t hinking to get a lifeguard certificate for a long time as it was quite cool to go around saying I am lifeguard and have the capability to save one’s life. Moreover, I have thought of being a hero by saving someone who was drowning. A lmost two weeks into the training, it had been easy and sometimes even time wa sting. Nevertheless, i couldn’t deny that i had learnt just a bit more technique and skills to increase survival ra te of myself and others. Just one advice: the time spent on “lecturing” afte r class session ended (9:30) shouldn’t exist at all because both the coach an d students should respect each other by being on time. It is very possible to count it as part of the training hours. Although I regret starting the training for a lifeguard due to waste o f time. I will still make it till the end at least for the certificate. Hope t hat one day those abilities we spent so much time perfecting would help us in some particular situation. --
