A Thirteen Year Old Hero

Categories
Lifestyle

On a school bus in Michigan, a 13 year old student was engrossed in conversation with his friends when he noticed the bus driver was not feeling well.

 

In a split second, this young student hopped into action and when the bus driver passed out at the wheel, reached in to put his foot on the brake and grabbed the steering wheel.    A crisis averted, multiple lives saved both on the bus and outside – and a hero was born from necessity.

 

This young man is destined for greatness.  To have the composure and forethought to jump into action Is not only admirable but astounding. I am pretty sure I could not have held it together to do the same.

 

In any event, my blog today is a kudos to this young man and his parents.  Every time I hear a story like this, it leaves me convinced that the world is going to be just fine.

It's uplifting to hear these Gen Z stories!

Incredible. I had seen on the coverage that his parents noted that young man doesn't have a cell phone, was very observant and had been watching the bus drivers drive over the years. As Yogi Berra said (it's one of my favorite quotes) - you can observe a lot just by watching.
