KDH Ocean Rescue is typically staffed by young in shape tan people. In an effort to bring more dermatological diversity to their corps they have hired the least tan person they can possibly hire. Sarah Walters is a UNC Women’s Studies major who has Albinism. “I just wanted to show everyone that I wouldn’t let the Cis-Hetero Patriarchy tell me what jobs I could or couldn’t do in the Summer,” she said while standing next to her stand.
Head Lifeguard, Troy Warren, had nothing but praise for his new employee, “At first we thought she might have trouble adapting to the long hours in the sun, but so far everything has been working out. She might spend half her paycheck on sunscreen, but we have umbrellas for the guards. If anything I thought she might not be able handle the p.t. you know cause she is a big girl.”
The other guards don’t seem to be worried much. “Hey as long as she can see and swim, I think she will be alright,” said Jacob Rosen, the new head lifeguard after Troy was suspended by H.R.
“I want to be a role model to children,” Sarah said as she looked out over the horizon, “Don’t let other people set limits on you. Set your eyes on a they sky and fly.”
