School teachers deserve way more credit than they get. They pour their hearts and souls into educating kids often on a less than ideal salary. However, some teachers go far beyond just teaching their students in school. The best teachers are emotionally invested in their students and express concern for them outside of the school setting. This story is about one such teacher.

Keller Sutherland was an elementary school teacher in South Carolina. One night, she was driving home and noticed something odd. A young boy ahead of her car was biking in the middle of the highway. The boy appeared panicked as he weaved in and out of cars. As Sutherland passed him, she realized that he was a former student of hers named Cameron. Out of concern, she stopped her car to check that he was okay.

When she asked him what he was doing biking on the highway, he initially gave a vague answer that he was going to his grandma’s house. Something about this didn’t seem right to Keller. She decided to question him further. Keller asked him if his father knew that he had left the house. That was when the truth came out.

Cameron told Keller that he had come home to find his dad sprawled out unconscious on the kitchen floor. He knew that his dad had diabetes and had passed out due to his need for insulin. He attempted to call the police on his father’s phone but was unable to because it was locked. Cameron looked for neighbors but no one was home. The only other place he could think of to go was his grandmother’s house. The only problem was that it was 5 miles away and he would need to take the freeway to get there. Nevertheless, Cameron bravely mounted his bike and began the long journey.

Keller immediately called the police. Luckily, they were able to send paramedics to take care of Cameron’s father. Keller had saved Cameron’s father and possibly Cameron as well. Who knows what would have happened if Cameron had continued to bike along the busy freeway. Keller was a hero that day and set the example for all teachers that the job extends far beyond the classroom.
