I didn’t pay too much attention to what the nurse was saying because I was focused on the girl's breathing and her ability regain consciousness.

Her mom was so thankful that we assisted in helping her daughter with her medical problem while everyone just stepped over her and went on to class. Just hearing her mom say that we made her day by helping her daughter made me realize that helping other shows that you are able to care for others as well as yourself. One person told me that “strike back against the selfishness and greed of our modern world and help out a fellow human being
