"8-year-old boys save drowning man"
Two boys in an under-14 lifeguard class rescued a struggling man drowning in the east coast in Australia. This is one of the most inspiring stories I have read, though it was not even a page long. These two young boys took an act of courage and saved a life. "We saw him put his hand up and saying, 'help, help,' so we went over to him and pulled him on our board," said one of the boys. Nearly 50,000 Australian children ages 5 to 13 are enrolled in junior life saving programs, according to Surf Life Saving Australia. I am very impressed with this and am pleased to know we have such kids like these in our world.
"Heroic mailman saves 3 lives while on the job."
An ordinary man has shown multiple acts of chivalry in his time of being a mailman. His own town calls him "the plainclothes superhero". This man is extraordinary, and I would be very honored to meet him. Nearly 20 years ago, this man, Keith McVey, saved a suicidal teenagers life by wrapping him in blankets and keeping him alive until the ambulance came after he jumped off a bridge. 2 years ago, while on his morning route, he heard someone crying for help. He rushed and saw a little girl drowning in a lake. He dove in, and rescued her after many attempts to get her above water. A few weeks ago, he rescued a man who had stopped breathing on the side of the road. All of these while he was on the job. I think everyone should look up to this man as a hero and aim to be as he is.
