I was driving home, weighed down by the worst day of my life my fiancรฉ called off our wedding last week, and Iโd just lost my job. As rain poured down, my phone buzzed again. It was Mom, worried about the storm. I told her Iโd be home soon, though inside I felt shattered. Then, a yellow school bus rolled past. At the back window, a little girl was banging and yelling for help. My heart stopped. I sped after the bus, honking, but the driver seemed unaware.Panic surged as I forced the bus to stop. Inside, the kids were noisy, laughing except the girl, Chelsea, who was struggling to breathe. She was having an asthma attack, but her inhaler was missing. I searched through the childrenโs backpacks and found it in a boyโs bag. He said it was โjust a joke.โ I was furious. Helping Chelsea use her inhaler, I watched her color return.
