Jordan's Goal

Question

J. Han

The distance between the shore and the floating dock was colossal. It might as well have been an entire ocean! Even so, all junior lifeguards needed to swim it in under a minute to pass the training exam and work at Camden Lake.

Jordan now realized how ambitious his summer plans were. Most high school students got easier jobs than this. Tom was stocking shelves at Quick-Mart. Ana was doing odd jobs for neighbors. Jordan, however, was the exception. Being a junior lifeguard meant weeks of training, and there were only four available slots. With 15 students competing, it was doubtful Jordan would make it. He just wasn’t certain he was a strong enough swimmer.

Suddenly, the head lifeguard shouted, “Jordan, you’re up!”

Jordan nodded, attempting to imagine himself as victorious, triumphing over others to achieve a position as a junior lifeguard.
