Keller Sutherland who is a school teacher at Ellen Woodside Elementary School in Greenville County in South Carolina is a person who believes that God used her to be play the role of heroine when one of her former students Cameron who last name was not released was seen riding his bicycle down a busy highway to go his grandmother’s house after his father whose name was not released had collapsed to the floor in his home due to a diabetic attack.
Even though Cameron’s father had in his possession a cellphone inside his home, Cameron was not able to contact the authorities since his dad his password blocked which prevented Cameron to get medical help. I do not know if there was a landline telephone inside the home or Cameron suffered a panic attack which made him get on to ride his bicycle to contact his grandmother who lives five miles away since his attempts to contact his neighbors fell flat.
Keller was driving on the same highway when she saw Cameron riding his bicycle in the busy highway. She went over to talk to Cameron on what the reason he was riding a bicycle on a highway that is considered dangerous.
When Cameron explained to Keller that he was seeking medical help for his father who suffered from a diabetic attack that made him pass out, Keller was able to contact the medical first responders to come to Cameron’s home to attend to his father’s medical illness.
The first responders were able to save Cameron’s father from dying since they arrived in the nick of time. Keller is now teaching students how to work with cellphones to contact the authorities when the cellphone code is blocked for the protection of their privacy.
In my book teachers like Keller are the real heroes of our world. They earn every dollar they make working one of the toughest professions of all time.
Really enjoyed reading this story. Great things done
My pleasure to share great stories here on this site.
Since I am taking some exercise courses recently to control my blood sugar count, it is has been go for it town.
there are a lot of unanswered questions in this post
I did fall short of some people’s expectations in this post. My error.
you may not have the information, in which case how can you be held accountable?
You have a good point there.
I only hold you accountable if you are lazy
A heartwarming story for sure showing how some are willing to go the extra mile.
Some teachers love their students like they were their own children. Too bad the tabloid media does not report this more often.
Teaching in a tough job. I taught for many years and have life long bonds with many of my students and their families. Thanks for the “feel good” moment.
My pleasure Ghpstwriter since I know the horror stories of teachers having to deal with unruly students like the Samuel L. Jackson movie “187”. I do not blame teachers demanding a huge salary to do their work in shaping minds of children and adults.
