A Real Hero

Daniel came home from work soaking wet one evening. He had been in Orlando on his way to an appointment. He was driving near a little strip mall that had a retention pond and saw a small, red car jump the curb and drive straight into the pond. Of course, he immediately pulled over and ran over to see if he could offer assistance to the driver who was now climbing out of her window trying to get on top of her car. 
His initial thought was to grab a rope from his car and pull the girl (in her late teens, early 20's) and her car out of the pond. As he headed back to his truck the girl is screaming frantically for him to come back and get her. Her car is quickly sinking and she cannot swim! So he turns back, ditches his coat, keys and phone and goes into the pond to get the girl. He literally saved her life. Her car sank, she could not swim and there wasn't a single other person around offering any help at all. This was definitely an experience for the books!! So proud of my real life hero!
