Clear-Minded
Smith knew exactly what she had to do when she understood what the trouble was, and she was very clear about it. As she explained to ABC News, “When I’m driving them, you’re my children until I drop you off to your biological parents. I have to handle each child with care, as a mommy would her own, so that’s what I did. That’s what I hope any human being would do for any child.”
Valor
The council member and university professor Fazlul Kabir shared the bravery of Renita on Facebook, with praises for the lady. He added, “A big thank you to our school bus driver… who just saved 20 elementary school kids from a bus fire that completely destroyed the bus.”
A Hero Every Day
Smith is a hero, not only for the twenty children whom she saved but also and more importantly for her own children, whom she loves dearly. She struggles each day with all her strength to give them the best life possible.
