Super-Mother
She has been the bravest a person can be and has shown the highest amount of courage by risking her own life. Smith even explained to DeGeneres, “My son, one of his friends texted him and [said], ‘Your mom is a hero!’ And [he said], ‘My mom has always been a hero.’”
Selfless
Even though Smith has so little for herself and her children, she did not think even for a second about giving away her own life if needed for the twenty kids that were in the bus as her responsibility.
Biggest Treasure
She might not have anything materialistic to give away, but still what Renita did as a favor or as her responsibility was bigger than any treasure the students or their parents could have ever received.
Down To Earth
What is commendable is how even after so many praises Smith still does not feel that she did something extraordinary. It was a responsibility for her and she was no hero according to her. She felt like she did what any human would have done by saving the children without any doubts.
Rich Or Poor
People who have all the resources are the ones who are barely ever ready to help someone in need. And those who have nothing with them are the ones who are always readily available to help those in need, just like Renita.
Parenthood
Smith understands the responsibility that is on her shoulder. It is not easy for parents to leave their kids and let them be alone in the outside world without their supervision. All the students are like her own children until the time she drops them home.
