When a substitute teacher had a fall and hit her head during her kindergartner class, every student stood shocked. That is, every child apart from one “tiny hero” who rushed to get help and in turn saved the woman’s life. The gratefulness and recognition the boy received as a result is incredibly touching.

It was August 2019, and the school year had only started two weeks earlier. Joyce Darr was teaching a class at Frostproof Elementary School in Polk County, Florida. One of the children accidentally “bumped into her, and she’s 67 years old, she lost her balance, and she fell over and cracked her head,” the woman’s son, Derek Darr, explained, according to Fox13 News.
