Florida Teen Honored for Saving the Life of a Police Officer Who Was Arresting Him
Briefly describe the situation of despair in this article:
Sometimes people who do not make good decisions in their life get labelled as bad. Their actions define who are they are and people are reluctant to give them a second chance.
What actions are the individuals (or group of people) in this article undertaking in an attempt to overcome this situation of despair?
Despite the situation he was in, the Florida teen, Jamal, decided that he was not going to let his bad decisions define him as a person. He knew that he was better than that and he showed people this by calling for help when the officer who was arresting him had a heart attack.
Explain why you believe the situation of hope and despair in this article best reflects the miracle chosen.
People can blind themselves to the true identity and potential of others if they let someone’s outward appearance and actions define who they are. We shouldn’t judge people because they may start believing the negative labels placed on them.
