Lifeguard Job Application & Safe Driving Advocacy
Lifeguard Job Application
Lifeguard work is very respectable for many reasons. Being a lifeguard has a great responsibility, and I’m aware of that. I am old enough and mature enough to carry out the work of a lifeguard. I would save lives and help people when they need it. From my point of view, it’s an honest job and, above all, very nice. I can swim very fast in extreme situations, and I want to improve every day with training. I am the perfect person for this job. You will not find anybody better than me. A greeting, and thank you very much for seeing me. I hope for your answer.
Mobile Phone Use While Driving
I do not agree about mobile phone use while driving. From my point of view, using the phone while driving can be distracting. It is very dangerous because you endanger not only your life but also the lives of other people who are on the road. That’s the reason why you have to be very controlled and responsible. Because then we can have safer roads for all. If it is very urgent, I defend the use of hands-free devices because it prevents you from not having both hands on the wheel, or even using the speaker as long as you do not impede the full use of the wheel. Ultimately, I only advocate the use of the mobile if you can use the steering wheel with both hands.
