The Bondi Rescue tower thrums with frantic energy. Amidst a wash of sun-bleached yellow uniforms, one face is unfamiliar—mine. Sixteen years old and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with legends: Hoppo, Harries, Ben Q, Dean, Reidy, Chappo, Quinn, Whippet, Aaron, Troy, Tom, Singlets, Maxie, Michael, Jake, Gavin, Huts, Jethro, Glick, Jacko, Jules, Wally, Mario, Ryan, Lukas, Clint, Will, Lachie, Luke, Jack, Joel, and Chase. If I'm a girl, I'm only the second woman here, alongside Jules. The rookie era begins under the unrelenting Australian sun.
