13-year-old drives school bus to safety after driver passes out

In Journalism class, I read an article online called 13-year-old drives school bus to safety after driver passes out published by FoxNews.com. This article was about a middle school student that steered a school bus to safety after the driver apparently had a heart attack while driving. It was a normal Monday morning for students until thirteen year old Jeremy Wuitschick noticed the bus driver was strange. This quote from the article stood out to me "I was just thinking I don't want to die," Jeremy said "I turned to the right. Turned to the side of the road. Took the keys out of the ignition. We started slowing down, and I said, `Somebody call 911!"' Quickly thinking Jeremy and another student, Johnny Wood, gave the bus driver CPR while other students called for help. John McCrossin, school administrator, saw the bus on the side of the road minutes later and also performed CPR on the bus driver. Soon the police and paramedics came. Paramedics carried the driver off the bus; they state that on his way the hospital he was breathing. The 43 year old bus driver is in "grave condition" while at the hospital. Jeff Short, Deputy Schools Superintendent, says that students go over what kind of things to do in emergences such as if a bus driver is incapacitated and that he thought they did an outstanding job. 

I think that Jeremy acted quickly and he did a smart thing by taking actions into his own hands and saving everyone. He should get an award for doing what he did because all of them children would be dead and so would the bus driver. It’s a good thing that they learn about that in school and I think all schools should teach that in case of an emergence.
