Description

We all have different abilities. But sometimes, we need to dig a little deeper to find our own special gifts.

Well-known Bondi Rescue lifeguard Anthony Harries Carroll wasnt always as confident as he is now. As a child, he was often bullied for his dyslexia, and sadness and shame quickly followed.

However, what Harries eventually discovered was that his talent lay not in words, but in seeing and hearing things others might not pick up on. His heightened alertness to his surroundings means Harries can anticipate when someone might be in danger. Uncovering these qualities in himself led Harries to carve out a successful 30-year career as a lifeguard, rescuing and resuscitating thousands of people.

Harries is a story of hope for any child searching to find their own unique place in the world.
