Title: Unforgettable summer delivered on 2006/02/21 (AMTC)
*Objective:

(Opening)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Every body knows I’m a vet boy, but nobody knows I am also a water boy. Why do I love swimming so much? Because this kind of sport, that I can do it alone, and the sport injury is rare. It is also a whole body exercise and nice aerobic sport. But tonight I didn’t only want to tell you the advantage of this sport. Properly I would like share with you my personal story when I want to be a water boy.

(Body)
It was a hot summer vacation in 1995. I was still a vet intern in animal teaching hospital of National Pingtung University. I thought I’d be very busy but still bored in this summer vacation. I didn’t want this vacation end up like last one. Maybe God heard my prayer, my then classmate who was also my buddy gave me a big surprise next day. He signed up a lifeguard training for me. Luckily, we both were admitted. It was simply too good to be true. And just when I was fantasizing the wonderful beaches or swimming pools and the hot bikini girls in this vacation, my buddy told me not to expect too much from it yet. Although we were admitted, we had to pass the entrance examination before we could join the training course. This is a big problem for us. According to the information of the lifeguard training society, the acceptance rate was only 50 percent. We didn’t know how to prepare and we only had one month to go. For the sake of the colorful and unforgettable summer vacation, we’re ready to risk everything. Finally we requested the senior who was already a lifeguard coach. We were so lucky, because he offered to help us and he designed a basic and simple training course for us. But not everything was smooth as silk. I had to iron out some obstacles. Firstly my boss gave me so much work to do that I always worked over time. And secondly, I had some home teaching job in my free time. Thirdly, I had to get up early to join the morning swimming training. I knew my body was so tired progressively and my mind was not really clear day by day. Three weeks later, something happened. I still remember it is a nice early morning. It’s the same fresh air and birds singing. I was on my way to the swimming pool by motorcycle. I still felt so tired because my sleeping time was not enough. Suddenly someone turned off the light in my mind. I couldn’t see anything at the same time. Then I felt the motorcycle run over the roadblock. It was flying in the air and it collided with a tree. Ya. What about me? I fell down on the ground and my body was upside down. And I fainted soon. When I woke up I just knew that my body had multiple abrasions. The doctor told me that I had to be in hospital for two days.
(Conclusion)
Ok, ladies and gentlemen. Before God wants to assign you a mission, he will test you. Right? Do you want to know what happened at the end of this story? I got batter quickly in the last week and all of us passed the entrance examination. But it is just only a beginning. I knew the following training course would be harder than ever. But we were determined to take on the challenges. No matter what we wouldn’t give up. Everybody, Tonight God wants to give our club member another great task. So, are you ready? YES! Thank you. Toastmaster.
