"Being a Guardian Angel" or "It Should Be Mandatory Education in Schools"

As the previous post placed by the 1st TIR "CO" alluded to, knowing how to do CPR can mean the difference between life or death for child. I would say that this was divine intervention by God due to the fact that the young heroine in the story "just happened" to be visiting friends in Austin; that she "just happened" to go down on the greenbelt (a seven mile meandering park in SW Austin) near the location of the little boy and that she "just happened" to be a ex-lifeguard who knew CPR. Guardian Angels, in my humble opinion, may come in the form of a ethereal entity helping to nudge or guide a person in one direction or they may come in the form of a mortal human being placed in the right time and right location to make a life-altering change.
My hope for all who read this post is that you will get CPR training ASAP so that when God decides to use you as a Guardian Angel you will be ready to answer His call.
I really believe that CPR, Basic First Aid and AED training should be mandatory classes in Junior High or at least High School. If your public schools do not teach these courses then I would recommend contacting the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association to see where you or your children can sign-up for these courses.
This stuff works and it saves lives, just ask the family in the newspaper article listed below.
