Hello, I have known Brandon Vo for over two years. Brandon worked as a lifeguard at the Collins Hill Aquatic Center, where I was the supervisor. I also interviewed him in July 2020, getting to know him and how he was as a worker. He started working in August of 2020, working only weekends while he focused on schoolwork during the week. During the summer seasons, his work schedule expanded to include weekdays, and he divided his attention between work and volunteering for a local swim team. Brandon was a hardworking, dedicated, and diligent worker. During the school year, while he only worked weekends, he brought his full attention to every shift. Whenever he was on stand, he was proactively watching the water, making sure the patrons were swimming in a safe manner. However, during the school year, whenever he got the chance, he would pick up weekday shifts from coworkers who needed them taken. Even though he would only be scheduled during the weekends, he tried to help his coworkers whenever needed. Furthermore, after a year of working, Brandon took a class to receive a Lifeguard Instructor (LGI) certification, allowing him to instruct and train prospective lifeguards. After spending some time taking an LGI certification course, Brandon passed a written exam and a graded mock lesson. He has done so on two occasions, shadowing more experienced LGIs to learn the specifics of teaching and directly helping during certain sections. Brandon worked hard while at work, but his commitment to his schoolwork was his primary focus. His dedication to his schoolwork should demonstrate his desire to put school above anything else, and he is willing to work in a manner that allows him to give his all on the clock and in school. For these reasons, I recommend Brandon as a recipient of this scholarship, and I feel that he would make great use of the scholarship during his time in college. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Monte’ J. Harpe Program Supervisor, Collins Hill Park Aquatic Center Gwinnett County Parks and Recreations
