  1. Wow!! He’s a wonderful young man! Great response and definitely awesome 👏He even comforted the bus driver by telling him that they were calling 911.

    1. That’s not a male driver. “She is still in the hospital.” Just letting you know from what was stated above.

  2. Tell me why I 🥰 this young man… He took speedy action and gave commands to secure the situation without panicking. He’s going to be a Great Leader as well as Humanitarian 💁🏽

  3. Go Michigan. Proud to have this young man be from my state. Also proud of this young man for acting quickly and calmly,

  4. Hope that the bus driver is alright. It looked like she knew that something was wrong. I’m thinking she could have had a seizure of some type or a stroke. Prayers are with this driver
