“I made sure the bus was secure went back and grabbed the student. He was just red and gasping for air,” Maxville said, according to KTUL, adding that it was the first time she had used her CPR training in 17 years.

“I feel like I don’t deserve a lot of credit,” Macville said to KTUL. “It was just God working through me. But I am just glad we got it done.”
