Can a girl get some recognition?

So this one time I was at a public swimming pool in the kiddie section (it's a great place to start - nice and warm) and I was playing a game of tag. I was trying to turn a corner when I saw a little asian boy playing a weird little game with himself. He was flailing his arms and legs around underwater and all I could think was, "what a stupid game...it looks like he's drowning!" I then realized that it was very likely he was drowning; his feet couldn't touch the floor. I felt a little uneasy pulling him out because he may have been having a great time playing his freaky little game, but I grabbed his forearm with one hand and pulled him out. The poor little guy clung on to my arm. Instead of holding him, I dragged him with that one arm until we got to the lifeguard. "Lifeguard," I said. "This kid was drowning!" She picked him up and he puked up some water then some idiot came and claimed him (how do you leave a three year old unattended?). I waited for the lifeguard to commend me for saving a child's precious life but to no avail. I got no recognition! She didn't even mention that I pulled him out or spotted him. I stood there until it became awkward and the conversation was long over and eventually slinked away. No chocolate bar or newspaper thank you, no nothing... Ungrateful bastards.

This is a collective effort

I don't know what to tell you, followers - but expect something big.
