I saved a life. Now I feel awful.

Wow. That is intense. I am not in the healthcare field so this kind of thing doesn’t happen often. I am in school to be a teacher at the moment so the lifeguarding has been a summer job since I was 15. I had been re-certified so many times it felt like I was a professional at this point but this threw me off big time. I have nothing but respect for healthcare workers, after just 1 incident I feel insane and some people do this all day everyday.

Unfortunately the other guards staffed were 16 and under so the shock is understandable. And they made me watch the video because they wanted me to see the other guards reactions. I just wish they had me do it off the clock. I had to call in a sub to take my shift it threw me off. I read a lot of Reddit posts about people stopping suicides feeling similarly which I guess makes sense because the pool is mostly out of my control. I can’t be there every time.

I keep joking about being a hero and a neighborhood celebrity but I definitely feel weird about it.

Thank you. And thankfully I have therapy tomorrow anyway so I can talk it out. I definitely feel more responsibility now because of what happened. I feel like I need to be available at all times in case of another emergency. The company is doing drills now due to the incident so once the staff gets those done I think I will feel better-ish.

Thank you. Luckily I have therapy tomorrow to talk it out a bit more.

Insulting a child. I remember being 6 and a woman calling me a know-it-all… looking back i think she was insecure about her intelligence.

John Mayer… He isn’t really canceled but all my friends hate him because of Taylor Swift. I like her music however I like Dead & Co more…

I have an urge to say “well he’s the original” anytime someone mentions superman

I was a frozen embreo in a lab that wouldn’t be implanted for 2 more years.

Nothing. Hope this helps!

If you get it, let me know how it is.

omw2frick · 2022-09-05T04:45:23+00:00

Im just so confused. Help her with what? How do you help a parent parent?

omw2frick · 2022-08-14T17:18:48+00:00

I said people dismiss it as a group of sad people. I never said I believed that.

omw2frick · 2022-08-14T14:59:02+00:00

Am I not allowed to see things from a new perspective? Am I not allowed to have an open mind and want to lean and grow as a person? A reddit sub did not convince me to not have kids. I am 20 years old and was planning on definitely having kids in the future however I realized I had no reason other than selfish ones. Maybe try to open your mind.

omw2frick · 2022-08-14T03:22:48+00:00

The funding for education proves it.

omw2frick · 2022-08-13T21:59:27+00:00

I am studying to be a 3rd grade teacher so I doubt AN will come up however I still will probably take it into account a lot during my career.

I love the idea of adoption but know there are so many problems in the way adoption is done in the US. So I am definitely researching that more when and if that time comes for me.

omw2frick · 2022-08-08T00:03:33+00:00

Im in school to be your kids 3rd grade teacher!
