LITTLE HEROES

this is a picture of a little girl playing with a phone.


When Erika Miller collapsed in her home Tuesday, her toddler Alana picked the phone and dialed 911.
And she knew just enough words to get her mom some help. The tape of Alana's 911 call reveals the resourceful little girl's plea for help:

Operator: 911, where is your emergency?
Alana: Momma owie.
Operator: Momma owie?
Alana: Momma owie.
Operator: Is momma there?
Alana: Momma owie.
The operator quickly traced the call to the Millers' home.

"I was shocked that my 2-year-old had the ability and the knowledge to call 911 and get the help here," Miller said.
Miller and Alana were playing in their home when suddenly Miller was hit with a painful migraine — it was so powerful that it made her pass out.
That's when Alana picked up the phone and did what most 2-year-olds wouldn't be able to do — she dialed 911.
"I have actually shown her, a few months ago, 'This is what you do if there's a big owie,' and showed her what buttons to push," Miller said. "I am so proud of her."

I think it is amazing how little kids are smart enough to save their parents life especially at age 2. I think that kids really do learn even if it doesn't seem like they are paying attention i think it shows that they remember what you told them and use it when it is needed.

POEM:
A CHILD'S HEART
A child's heart is full of love
Bearing all the burden

Holding on to every promise
Even the uncertain..

A child's tears happy or sad
Are real from within

The cry's come from their souls
Brought on by confusion..

A child thinks of only good
No matter what has happened

They love their mom and dad
But their souls will never mend..

Hold a child oh so close
Don't ever let them go

A gift from the all mighty
Like the first fallen snow..

Unconditional love
Is all that they say and more

To take advantage of that
Is to tear at God's core..

A child's heart is full of love
Not to bear the burden

But to love life to the fullest
Ever so certain..

This poem is about children and that they really do have big hearts in the sense that they care about the people around them. I think that this poem relates to my topic because it shows that in an important situatuion kids usually know what to do and that they care enough to realize something is not right.


QUOTES:
“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about."

I think this quote is talking about how children can teach you things that sometimes you would never know about or think about. I think this also shows that kids are smarter than people usually think.

I chose little kids as my favorite heroes because i think it is really amazing how they can think about saving someone and how they know when something is wrong. I think little kids are underrated
