Test Results

Yesterday I took all the tests and passed all but one; the lifeguard silks multiple choice test. The questions can be a bit tricky, and 10 of them got me. Today I retook it, and got all but 1 correct. I am now, officially, as a lifeguard, trained in CPR and first aid. I can't work until my birthday, in July, but i am trained. So if anyone is bleeding, or  about to die, call me up and maybe I can help!

Today I went and saw the Sherlock Holmes Exhibit ant OMSI. It was fun and we went for noodles at on of my most favorite restaurants, Franks Noodle House. Today was good, and all went well. Thank you for all the good luck wishes. I really think they paid off! ;)

Life guarding class

Over the past week, I have been attending a life guarding class. We have learned how to save people, how to give CPR, first aid, and how to stop emergencies from happening. The worst save we have to do is a deep water spinal rescue. This is where a patron hits their head neck or back while diving, doing a flip, ect. There can be shallow water spinals, witch aren't nearly as bad. There is also distressed swimmer, who can call out for help, an active drowning victim, who is having trouble staying up in the water and is going to drown, and a passive drowning victim, who has their face in the water, and can't breath. To pass our test, we have to preform each of these in order to pass, including CPR, and some first aid. Wish me luck on my test!!

Results

Durning the swim meet against Southridge, I took off 11 seconds from my best time of the 500 free, my best event. I had another meet last Thursday against Westveiw, and I took off an additional 4 seconds. YAYA! Today I started my Lifeguard class. Most of the day was lecture, as we went over scanning skills, ways to enter the water, and different types of drowning people. We practiced being victims and different approaches to a victim. After class, I went to swim practice, ending the day with pie. What more could I ask for?

Ending the season with a bang!

This year was my second year of water polo. This year was amazing, and I loved every second of it. This year, the sophomore girls consisted of five girls; one new, and four returnees. I am proud to say that I lettered for the second time in water polo. I am also honored to say that I made second all metro team, meaning that I am in the top 14 players in my district(the metro district). Another sophomore made third all metro team. I was so proud when I found out that I had made second all metro team. It is quite an accomplishment. I also got voted as most inspirational by my team mates. I got a plaque for that. Our assistant coach, Pat, gave us a big speech about half way throughout the season about being athletes, and not participates, and what it means to be an athletes. So, at the end of the year, he gave us a 'Pat Ribbon'. It says; 'Awarded to athletes (only) that have experienced what it means to go a little further, a little faster, a little harder, a little further than they have ever gone before or ever thought they could go.'

This Past Month

So. I know its been a while, and I'm sorry. I have been busy with homework, water polo, homework, Exchange application, more water polo, and did I mention homework? I can finally breath.
Over the weekend we were at the water polo District tournament.We played against Sam Barlow. We went into the game knowing we were gonna lose, but we played our hardest. We had them tied at half time. 4 to 4. But they eventually pulled ahead to 13-4 in the end. I am so proud of my team, and rather sad that I will be missing next season.
