Lifeguards

Im sorry its so long but the more detail the better picture of that…

I’d noticed that guy about 2 months ago from now. I started to attend to a swimming pool and he’s a lifeguard there. Initially I didnt pay much attention to him and was busy swimmin even when he was staring, sittin on a chair and supervising everything. When I went out of the pool and I passed him by, he stared with a very sweet smile. In a blink of an eye, I found myself attracted to him physically. He is tall and his body is well, probably he goes to a gym often. I loved that as it makes an impression of, you know, security and masculinity. Afterwards I felt his gaze on me and we exchange some smiles. I was surprised such a guy has noticed me (although i am not bad physically, i have low self esteem). I started to attend the pool more often, about every weekend. Every time he smiled, asked how i am and stared a lot. A couple of times I saw he is talkin with his collegues, and every guy, inc him, was staring at my direction. It was amazing being adored by a very confident, handsome and strong-lookin man. I felt sympathy and lust. I started to have sex fantasies. I couldnt really look him in the eye for longer, that’s how much he intimidated me and taking my breath (thats pretty unusual)…
But once I was there with my girl mate. She also was intrigued by him and she stared more often. When he got to know with that, he started to make jokes and laugh with his mates. She swims poorly so they openly commented this. My mom was there with us and said to me ‘they laughed at your friend, and when he (the attractive one) saw I observe him, he suddenly got serious.’
He does it ONLY when she’s with me, not when I am alone. What’s more, I’ve noticed he flirts with the other girls (collegues) from distance and twice in front of me ( touched them in a flirty way). Although it wasnt comfortable for me and something tells me he’s a jerk, I cant stop likin him. I started to ignore him. He was trying to get my attention again but then he ignored me as well (turning back when i looked at him and – thats funny- secretly glanced in my direction from time to time). After some time, i heard ’she’s playing hard-to-get’ behind my back when i passed by him and his male collegue. Dunno which one said that.

After come time, everything went back to normal and we say hi to each other. Seems like playing hard to get doesnt work with him. Once I swam and waved at him (then i’ve lost balanced a bit when swimmin), when I got to the end of the pool he appeared there and said ‘dont wave at me, you’ve nearly drowned.’ with a smile – what does it mean? was it rude or flirty?

Once I had a cramp on my neck and sat at the egde of the pool. He was behind.
‘whats up’ he says
‘a cramp prob’ly…’
he: ‘i’d massage u but i could have trouble if i do.’

I feel intensive stare from him when I pass him by, I feel his eyes on me all the way i walk. He always keep eye contact with me but i cant stand it more that few seconds. Once I quickly glanced at him and noticed his eyes like ‘absent’ and a half-smile. Once I asked why does he stare he just said ‘just turnin back!’ and laughed.
He didnt ask me out or something at all. Just stares and smiles and it’s getting creepy.
He’s really appealing and seems to be liked by ppl around. Veeery confident guy.

Does he play me? Like me? What u think?

Hed play you like a fiddle. He prolly thinks your cute or hot or whatever but hell lose interest in you i guarantee from what youve said.

The _______ means it is switching characters. The two characters are the Dad (Calvin) and the Daughter (Alli)

Water, water, water

That was all I could hear,smell, feel, and taste.
The stinging sensation of the icy cold saltwater was crushing into my nose, my ears, my mouth, and my eyes.
My arms were flailing out everywhere, trying in a desperate attempt to free myself from the riptide that was crushing, spinning me out of control.
“Help!” I tried to scream. Now I was gagging from the water in my throat.

“Keep Swimming!” I told myself. “You can do this, Alli!”

“Dad!” I yelped.

Eyes burning and mouth gagging, I gave in and let the water carry me downward.

__________________________________________________________

I laughed quietly at the note written to me by my eldest daughter, Lillian.

**********************************************************************************
Dad,

Well, well, well, this little girl is off to Europe while my oh-so-talented father is sitting on his butt reading this book I sent him!
I miss you all very much here, and I hope your paintings become a big hit! If you’re not a millionaire by the time I get back, then I don’t know what I’ll do!
People in France are very..different. They drink wine for every meal here, the streets are smaller and many people walk instead of using cars. Also, dinner is very, very late, but no worries! I snack so much on all the street food that it doesn’t matter much!
Well. I hope you like this book, and that it isn’t one of those book that end up on your “reading table”, which for some reason, the books on the table are never touched…

Au revoir,

Lilly
**********************************************************************************

I looked up at my painting. It was of the beach Alli and I was at for the day. My wife, Katie, was at the hotel. We had all just driven to Frazie’s Beach in Florida all the way from Tuscan, Arizona! We had made little stops until Alli had wailed, “Dad! I REALLY got to go!” which we then stopped at the nearest gas station to use the public restrooms. Other than restroom breaks, we used the food from our cooler, Katie and I sand along to the 80’s station, and Alli listened to the Ipod she had gotten for Christmas.
The trip took three days. Occasionally, Katie would get nauseated from her pregnancy, but she thankfully hasn’t gotten sick yet.
I looked back at Alli. She wasn’t there.
I was out of my lawn chair in a second.

“Alli?” I panicked.

I went down and up the beach, into the water, as far out as I could go. I was crying, I was laughing hysterically, I was screaming, I had lost it.

“Hey, you!” The lifeguard shouted. “ Don’t go out that far!”

He started rushing toward me as I screamed, “My daughter!” and fainted in the water.
________________________________________________________

Crash!

I heard the soothing sound of the waves crashing gently against the sand.

“This must be heaven.” I pondered.

I wondered why, if this was heaven, there was so much pain. My head hurt like crazy, and my eyes and throat felt swollen. I felt the back of my head, and there was a bandage on it. I realized I could move my fingers, so I slowly moved each part of my body until I knew, for sure, that I could walk.

Then it hit me.

The riptide.

The beach.

Drowning.

Dad.

I sat up abruptly and it was a little too much for my aching head. I slowly lied back down with the comforting thought that I would only sleep a little while..
__________________________________________________________
“Calvin!” I heard my wife’s panicked voice beside me. “You’re crying!”

I realized I was crying.

“Kates, Alli…she…water…I wasn’t….attention…painting…!” I stuttered.

“Honey, just go back to sleep.” Came Kate’s soothing voice.

“No!” I shouted. I sat up and looked around me. I had an IV connected to my right arm and a bandage on the back of my head. “What?” I trailed off.

Kate explained that when I learned of Alli’s death, the truth hit me so hard, that I fainted.

“I was so afraid I had lost both of you!” Kate finished.

At this point, Kate walked over to me and burst into tears. We were both crying when the doctor came in and said that after a few tests, we could go back to the suite.

“But you are strictly to be on bed rest for 48 hours, because of your heart condition.” He informed us.

“My heart?”

“Yes, your heartbeat dramatically dropped very low when you got here.” He said. “ Oh, and no caffeine for about a week or the results could lead to a heart attack.”

Kate’s eyes were swollen by the time we got back to our hotel, Patrick’s Suites.

“Your mother called while you were in the infirmary.” Kate motioned for me to get the key out of the back seat. “She insisted on paying for our stay here, and she said she’s coming down from Maine within a few days.”

It was dark, as were our moods, and Kate slipped on her black nightgown, and I, black sweat
Apparently all of it couldn’t fit = ( sorry! Can you get a good idea of it without the next part?

That is a fantastic start to your story! I love the dramatic irony when we know Alli is in danger and her Dad doesn’t – that piece of suspense is really well worked out! Also, the loving relationship shown in the letter was brilliantly conveyed. I also love the tension built up in Alli’s last section, from ‘Then it hit me’ to ‘Dad.’ Also the way that you don’t instantly reveal everything is nice. We aren’t confronted with simple facts, they are insinuated and described, such as Calvin’s paintings.

Things to improve:
You at first call his wife ‘Katie’ and then later ‘Kate.’ Pick one name and stick to it to avoid confusion. Check some grammar. I was a little confused at one point – you might want to make it a little clearer that Alli has died. I know you do mention it, but for something so tragic as the loss of a daughter needs a lot more detail of the reaction. When he wakes up he won’t really be bothering about getting some rest or his heart, his mind will be hurting terribly from his loss. Perhaps show that while Kate is attending to Calvin in his bed that she is suffering as well but trying to be strong for her husband? You might also want to add a bit of a time lag between Calvin realising that Alli is gone and panicking. He would have to be a real pessimist otherwise! Maybe use this as an opportunity to build suspense – his mind could be running through places she could be.
Sorry if that seems like criticism, but it’s all to help you! Overall though, a fantastic start!
Good luck with the rest of the story!

i love the beach so i was thinking i could decorate my room kinda like one,since I’m already getting 3 walls replaced(out of 6 )(oddly shaped room,i know) so i was thinking light blue walls but one of the walls is sticking out i little because in the next room there’s a fireplace,so for that wall i was thinking like a beach scene,a little sandy paint on the bottom with beautiful ocean stretching out over the horizon and there would be a silhouette of a palm tree…get a yellow rug for the center of the wooden floor , hang paper lanterns, sea shells around the room , (and if i can find a cheap one, for a room,a lifeguard chair ) I’ll hang posters and a wooden tiki head i have oh and while i was bored i made a hammock its made outta sheets, but i didn’t have rope What do you think of this bedroom idea/
anything to add to it??

I would tone it down a little.

What you’re desrcibing now sounds like something you’d get sick of.

Rather than painting a mural (very hard to do well), I’d buy a photo mural from Target or PB Teen.

Rather than an actual hammock, I would look into a hammock chair.

I’d really skip the life guard chair. It isn’t something you’d sit in much. If you’re room is really huge, I would get a futon instead.

I would do something a little less gimmicky like this: http://www.polyvore.com/beach_bedroom/set?id=15807725

During the summer I had my first job as pool monitor-all the perks of being a lifeguard without the stress. I spent hours upon hours watching an often empty pool, telling kids not to run, and checking the Ph and chlorine of the crystal water. Sometimes it was more boring than other times. Sometimes neighborhood friends would visit me, and we would shoot the breeze at the table beside the pool under a huge forest green umbrella. Other days, when it was just me and my old friend, the iPod, I would lay in the lounge chair in my Billabong bikini to catch as many rays as I could, dreaming of how cool it would be to put my new life-guarding certification skills to the test.
But, it wasn’t until the end of the sweet summer that I realized that I had learned many valuable lessons. Everything I need to know about life, I would learn at the pool. Knowledge necessary to live a happy life had been floating around in the chlorinated water, among the occasional June bug, all summer long. Although, it wasn’t until school had started and my job had faded with the summer that I found it there, long after the “Pool Closed, No Trespassing” signs were hung on the wrought-iron gates.
Chlorine stinks but the checks smell sweet.
Time is important.
Change is inevitable.
Labels are unnecessary
Friends can be found in unlikely places.
Negligence is not worth it.
It can’t be sunny all the time.
After the rain, there is often a rainbow.
Shooting stars happen most of the time.
Chlorine stinks, but I still had to use it everyday to get the job done. Yes, it burned my eyes. Yes, it made me cry, but at the end of the day, it prevented fifty people from getting ear infections…or something much worse. Sometimes what seems like a pain always works out for the best.
It seems that almost as soon as the summer had begun, it started to fade. As the seasons changed, my surroundings did as well. Older friends moved away to college, beginning whole different lives that I was not included in, but recognizing that labels are unnecessary allowed me to befriend many others. People who I otherwise would not have spoken so much to, I became close with, and now we share many fond memories together of the summer, in the sunshine and in the rain.
But the thing that we must never forget is that shooting stars happen all the time. People just never take the time to look up to the heavens and notice. They are so busy with their deadlines and jobs, getting so stressed out and depressed, that they fail to see all of the miraculous things that God had put into their lives. Maybe if they did, they wouldn’t have to read about another suicide or school shooting in the morning paper while they take their anti-anxiety pills. Maybe, just maybe, if people stopped to look to the heavens and notice just how many shooting stars there actually are, everyone would be a little bit happier, and maybe we would know that even though life seems overwhelming and stressful sometimes, everything is going to be okay.

Exceedingly remarkable that this is penned by a high school senior. I’m sure that it will be well received ) Good luck And, although it may seem trite to suggest, no matter what happens in your life, maintain that positive attitude. It will more likely than not be challenged at times, but it is a wise strategy.

Your health and well being are only enhanced by positivity no matter what the stresses. You can competently deal with the inevitable difficulties and "nastiness" you will encounter, while remaining optimistic.

I have a 24 year old boyfriend who suffered a stroke in October 2009. When I took him to the hospital it was because he had become paralyzed on his right side and lost his ability to talk. I had been first aid trained when I was a lifeguard and knew signs of a stroke and thought of it right away. He was admitted immediately to the ER and we waited in a chair for about an hour to see a nurse or doctor. While we waited he started to move his right hand a little bit again and was able to make sounds, but not put any words together or even begin to make a sentence. I knew something was wrong, but the nurses thought he was having an allergic reaction to something and gave him Benadryl. I even asked if it could be a stroke and they said no that the CAT scans that they just performed showed no abnormality. About 2-3 hours later while he was laying in bed and relaxed he went to turn on his side to get comfortable and he fell out of the bed. The side rails had not been put up when they put him in bed. When he fell he hit his head. At this point he went completely paralyzed again and in so many words, he went dumb. He could not understand anything and barely even making sounds now. I heard the nurse say that they need to get a Neurologist here now and it wasn’t until 6 hours later that he was finally taken in for an MRI where they determined he had a torn carotid artery which in effect led to a blood clot going into his brain.

I guess my questions are:
1. Can I sue for them not putting up the side bars on the bed he was in and him falling out?
2. Can I sue for misdiagnosis? (Now that I know a lot about strokes any trained nurse would have realized IMMEDIATELY that he was having a stroke)
3. Can I sue because he was not seen by a doctor for 10 hours that we were in the ER because it was the middle of the night???

Because of this he was left with life long disabilities. He is just starting to move some fingers. He has aphasia with the prognosis that it will take YEARS to gain back his speech. He was an athlete, student, and young man with his life ahead of him and they could have given him an enzyme to prevent these disabilities. The bills are out of control too. I had to quit my job to care for him and now he cant work. He does collect disability which helps with the basics, but this isnt the lives we wanted.

Please only respond seriously because this is a very serious matter. I live in the orange county area and would appreciate talking to a lawyer who is willing to help us out.
Thanks for the answers so far. One thing I should make clear is that it wouldn’t be me filing the claim. I meant as a general question…can ONE file a claim. So it would definitely be him or his parents and thank God he has tons of family here to help him.

And it was a clot, not a bleed if that helps

You should submit your case and all the details above to http://www.selectcounsel.com, your case will be reviewed and one of the best lawyers in your area will be contacted to take your case at no cost to you. It doesn’t matter who submits the case. Good luck. I hope your boyfriend recovers.

I’m a 15 bout to be 16 Japanese male living in Hawaii. I go to Pearl City High and have a huge social network of friends. I’m round 5′1 and play tennis for our school. I’m in two clubs, those being Japanese and Anime (friends dragged me so don’t ask) club. I’m also involved in many past school activities and upcoming activities. Home Coming Committee member 2008, Sophomore Songfest member, Sophomore Class Council member Freshmen & Sophomore Banquet Committee member, Home Coming Committee member 2009, Junior Songfest member, Junior Prom Committee member, Junior Class Council member, & Teacher Appreciation Chair for Juniors for the upcoming year. Also bout to be in Japanese club three years running. Look wise well I have shoulder length black hair and brown eyes, usual wearing black t-shirts and a jacket. Former junior lifeguard and I still remember the training. Personality wise…. um well I know I’m a bit shy and can be a bit random bout the stuff I do. All my friends say that I’m extremely nice and that I always lighten the mood and make things much more exciting. My best friends say that I’m extremely caring, sweet, bit tough headed though, but also give great advice. Couple of my friends that are girls keep saying that I’m cute though I don’t think that I’m good looking. My friends know I’m willing to stand up for them even if I get hurt (done it several times already) or ridiculed. My religion is Buddhist but I don’t really practice anything. I hate guys that treat girls badly. Highest values in life are honestly, friendship, respect, and keeping to ones promises. I hate seeing my friends sad and always try to cheer them up. Oh and I’m extremely sorry for the very long amount of details that are like scattered. Um here’s a link for what I look like (http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/165/0/9/Profile_Pic_by_dalxmir_desu.jpg) ya ya I look like one Asian girl I know.
