9 year old heroine
Anaiah Tucker
I was so touched by this story. Very few people (let alone, a child) would make such a difficult decision in a matter of seconds. Little Anaiah did it and saved her sister's life.
QUOTE Anaiah Tucker, 9, and her 5-year-old sister, Camry, were crossing the street to get to the school bus stop, just like they did every day. Their mother watched as they walked, no doubt so she could keep a watchful eye on their safety until they boarded the bus.
In a fleeting instant, a truck was bearing down on the two girls as they walked and Anaiah had to make a split-second decision - she pushed her younger sibling out the way and took the hit herself. The impact broke her neck and crumpled both of her legs so badly that one had to be amputated. She lost a kidney and damaged her spleen.
When asked why she saved her sister, the brave-hearted child simply said, "If she got hit, she wouldn't hardly be alive. She would be probably gone forever. I love her so much". Source 7
