He may be just a high school junior, yet Phoenix, Arizona, student Salim Mohammed can already count saving a teacher’s life with CPR on his list of accomplishments. When a Metro Tech High School teacher collapsed and her heart had stopped, her colleagues rushed to find help. They came to the gym and found a group of students with their coach.

“I was working out,” Mohammed told KNXV. “These two girls came in and called my coach, and I ran out with him.” They followed the two girls to find the unconscious woman. She had lost all color and was foaming at the mouth with her eyes rolling back. “They say her heart stopped so I started chest compressions,” Mohammed said.
