Hi Rachel, my name is Angie Whitehurst and I want to ask you a question about your work life. So, in your work life (inaudible), is there something that you have done that you feel really happy and proud of that you can share with us? Yeah, I think so. So, I'm a lifeguard. And I work at a lake and we have to kind of teach the kids, how to swim, as well as lifeguard. We have take a test to go out to this raft with a slide, and we kind of give them pointers on how to swim and how to get better. And there was this one little girl named Connie who I worked with for a whole day once, like eight hours straight of just trying to swim and pass the test. And at the end of the day, she passed the test and it was really exciting. That was really good feeling. (Inaudible) What?

00:01:02.800 - 00:01:19.400

Was she afraid? No, she was just really determined to keep trying until she could do it. And you helped her through that? Yeah.

00:01:19.400 - 00:01:41.170

And you do this every day? Um, Yeah. Not with just one person, but you got many different like.. Yeah.

00:01:41.170 - 00:02:09.000

That's awesome! And what else besides having worked as a lifeguard? Is there any other interactions with community work or volunteer work you've done where you've had positive experiences that make you feel good about what you do? Yeah, um. I went and tutored at my local elementary school a few times and we invented a new playground game. And that was really exciting where you have to, like, close your eyes while you're on the playscape and try to tag people. And at the end of the day, I felt really good. All the kids are having a good time. Oh, you created the game? Oh tell me about that! It's called Groundies and then, if you're on the like wood chips, then you're safe. And then if you're on a playscape, it's like you can get tagged, but you can the person tagging them has to close their eyes

00:02:12.200 - 00:02:18.800

And so have other people taken the game and tried it or used it? Yeah, I usually hear the kids on the playground playing. Okay and you call it Groundies? Yeah.

00:02:18.900 - 00:02:29.770

Okay, so you're on the wood chips, you're safe? Yes. If you're not on the wood chips, then the person...wouldn't you... oh, their blindfolded. Do they have to put a blindfold on or? No, they just have to close their eyes.

00:02:29.770 - 00:02:35.500

Close them! Oh, honor system. Yes. Oh, that's fascinating, I could play that. Yeah, it's fun.

00:02:36.500 - 00:02:38.500

Thank you for sharing that with me. Thank you.
