7-Year Old Saves Classmate

Seven-year-old David Diaz Jr. is a second-grade student at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Binghamton, NY, and he just got an award.  A New York State Senator gave David the New York State Senate Commendation Award, which goes to people who make exceptional contributions in their neighborhoods.  David’s classmate DeAndre was choking during lunch when David jumped up and performed the Heimlich maneuver on him, saving his life.  David was surprised by his own bravery, saying he didn’t know what to do, he just did it.  And where did he learn it?  From watching the TV show “'The (Good) Doctor!”  That goes to show you don’t have to have training to do it, it’s easy to learn and you never know when you can save a life like David did. See the whole story. Oh and David isn’t interested in the medical field for when he grows up… he wants to be a basketball player!
