Lifeguard, 16, saved 2 kids 1st month on job June 7 marked the second time Davian Herrera, 16, saved a child’s life. Both rescues happened during his first month ever working a job, as a lifeguard for the city’s Copper Sky Aquatics Center. That day, Herrera noticed 9-year- old Jude Davis’s head “bobbing in and out” of water before immediately jumping in to pull her from the water. “He said she had sucked in a ton of water … she was gasping and choking when he pulled her out,” said Jude’s mother, Tortosa resident Natalie Davis. Herrera, who lives in Alterra, had made a similar rescue about three weeks earlier and said he was “very grateful” to serve the community. He’s not the only one who used that word. “We are forever grateful for him jumping in and saving her, because it was extremely busy that day and while it is his job to be paying attention, there were tons of kids ... he could have not noticed her as fast as he did,” Davis said.

How was the job hunt? I got this job through my sister. The day I got this job, I was just chilling on the couch in my living room and my sister was here working. She called me and said, ‘Hey, do you want to work here or not?’ Before that, I was looking for work but didn’t have any luck. What do you enjoy about your job? The environment here is very relaxed and laid back, and the customers are great. They’re very friendly and it’s easy to build rapport with them. How do you plan to spend your money?
